Most of us tend to forget that as we go through life in this world, this is not what we're to be living for!!!
...19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rustg consume and where thieves break in and steal; 20 but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rusth consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.(Matt. 6:19-21; NRSV)
We also tend to forget at what a great personal cost most of those mentioned in the Bible dealt with. Abraham left all that his life existed of to seek after GOD's leading. Ruth, she left behind all also, to glean in the fields of a stranger. Look at the disciples and all that they left to follow CHRIST. Even Peter when he stepped out of the boat left behind much. Think about it, he left behind common sense and all the laws of nature to which he'd lived his whole life.
The point here is, what are you willing to do(forget) in life, to obtain a full relationship with JESUS today???
Use these verses, but don't stop with them, cross reference and seek out GOD from within HIS WORD!!!
GOD bless and good day,
