Wasted Lives

Wasted Lives

What good are our lives if we don’t give them away? What good are the things we have if they just go to waste? We all come into this world naked with nothing. We can take nothing with us when we leave here either. Our lives and possessions are only momentary gifts. They have meaning only when we share them and use them to help others. 

The real blessings of life come from every act of giving, helping, and sharing we do. These true riches are love, joy, and wholeness with God. They are the wealth of the spirit and the treasures of Heaven. The best thing about them too is that they never run out. The more you give them away, the more God pours them into your heart, soul, and mind. 

Don’t let your life go to waste. Give it away. 

-Give it joyously in service to others. 

-Give it lovingly in service to God. 

-Give your money, your time, your talents, your help, your skills, your energy, and your love. 

-Give without fear knowing that God will always give you back even more. 

Make yourself rich in the treasures of Heaven and bring a little Heaven to Earth as well. Be a blessing and not a burden.
