“This is how it will be for anyone who saves things only for himself. To God that person is not rich.” Luke 12:21

When the currency of a country goes bust, the word change has a whole new meaning. A friend of mine told me that when she went to visit her country of origin at a time of economic crisis, a loaf of bread required a wad of notes, literally a fist full of dollars.

What once was worth a lot is now worth little. People that invested a lifetime saving for their dreams are now left bankrupt, both financially and emotionally.

When we come to Jesus we often feel like currency that has lost its value. But instead of making us feel worthless he accepts us just as we are. Don’t spend your life trying to make this world your permanent dwelling place, like the man spoken about in the parable found in Luke 12. Instead make a daily investment in things of God, things that will not lose their value and diminish.

Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. Colossians 3:2

Have a blessed day.
