You live in an age when earthly investments can disappear overnight. Earthly securities are not secure. It is natural for people to want to invest in something that will cause their monies to grow. When people invest in stocks, they expect a return from their investments. They expect great dividends that will insure a secure future for them.
When you invest in the kingdom of God on earth, you add to the treasures in heaven that will be secured for all eternity. Some of My beloved do not have much money to invest in missions and other outreaches, but they can make eternal investments in other ways. I do not look on the amount that is invested. I look on the heart that invests. When you have a giving heart that desires only to further My kingdom on earth, I rejoice greatly. The greatest investment you can make is your investment in people. People are My treasures on earth and they are truly worth the time and the money that you invest in their lives.
The dividends of investing in people by sharing My love for them are great. Whenever you pray with a person, give to help a person who is in debt, disciple and mentor a person, or share My joy, peace, and love with a person, you are making an eternal investment that will grow and multiply My kingdom on earth. Be alert today for the opportunities that I will give you to make secure, sure investments that will guarantee a great and eternal return.
MATTHEW 6:19-21
