Matthew 6:19-21
Jesus commanded: "Do not
store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy,
and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves
treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where
thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there
your heart will be also."
Jesus,
You are my most
valuable Treasure. You are more lustrous than pearls, more majestic than
sapphires, and more radiant than rubies. I rejoice in the richness of
my relationship with You. Knowing You is more precious than the most
brilliant diamond. Rare and beautiful, You've caught my interest and
captivated my heart!
Like a fool, I've
invested my money in worthless possessions, accumulating assets that
could be destroyed in a heart beat. My warm and cozy home is full of
meaningless treasures that could easily be stolen. Blessed with an
overabundance of food, I'm never hungry. I've spent a small fortune on
an extravagant wardrobe that I wash, wear and waste. Forgive me, Father,
for overindulging in useless pleasures when others are just looking for
a simple roof over their head, begging for a mere morsel to eat, and
wearing my worn out wardrobe.
Because
my heart and all that I have belong to You, I resolve to be more
generous this year. Please touch my wallet with Your love. Show me who I
can bless financially today. Willingly and wisely, I'll open my heart
and my wallet, making a secure investment in Your heavenly kingdom. In
return, You'll bless me with the everlasting riches of Your glorious
name. Amen.
Thank God for all
that He's given you. Consider all the ways you extravagantly spend money
on unnecessary items while others struggle to survive. Out of heartfelt
gratitude, resolve to be more generous and find someone to share your
wealth with today.
