“PROFIT AND LOSS!”
Mark 8:35-36
“For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?”
Over the years many gold seekers have had their hopes crushed by discovering that what they had discovered was not gold, but only worthless “fool’s gold.” That is true of many things in this world. What glitters is not always gold!
All around us we observe people spending their energy and efforts to achieve that which will not even last over a few years. Much of the time the things that people pursue dissipate in a few hours or a few days --- at most.
When we invest our efforts to further the kingdom of God and His righteousness, we will make deposits in the bank of heaven that will last for eternity. This is not to our credit, but for the sake of Christ and His kingdom.
Take time to evaluate your life. Are you giving up the things that have fleeting value here in this world but little or no value in God’s kingdom that is eternal? What may seem a loss in the world’s system may have eternal value that goes far beyond what we experience now! Invest wisely! All that glitters is not gold ~ all gold does not glitter.
God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
