In Matthew 6:19-21, Jesus said, “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.”

Literally everything on earth wastes away: material items, wealth, success in our eyes, success in others’ eyes, and even our bodies. This life is so short, and I want to make mine count. The only eternal thing is God’s love for us and the life we can have through the Son who sacrificed it all for our own sake out of love.
