Our riches are measured by how much we give,
Not by belongings or how much we gain.
That which we own may give us much pleasure,
But “treasures” grow old and value will wane.
Treasures in heaven are built as we share,
When giving to others and showing we care.
We need not worry we won’t have enough...
Earthly provisions or clothing to wear.
In our great God our provision has rest.
As we seek His kingdom He meets all our needs.
Our greatest need is to serve Him and give.
For all of our “want” His provision exceeds.
“Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete
withal it shall be measured to you again.”
Luke 6:38 KJV
“Sell what you possess and give donations to the poor; provide yourselves with purses and handbags that do not grow old, an unfailing and inexhaustible treasure in the heavens,
where no thief comes near and no moth destroys.”
Luke 12:33 Amplified Bible
