seek those things ABOVE

God has shown me a lot this Summer. As I have grown more and more in love with Him, it's become so very clear that this world is not my home. My life is not my own. I am created in Christ Jesus for HIS purpose. So many years I sought out the things of this world to satisfy, but in all honestly, NOTHING fills what needs to be filled with Christ. Guys, He is calling us to look and seek the things ABOVE not anything on this earth. He is so much more than anything we could ever need or look for. We are called to seek His righteousness, purity and holiness. Oh, that the LORD would examine our hearts. That His people would quit stalling and searching for the things of this world that might satisfy for two hours. That our hearts would be so knit together with CHRIST that all our desires, all our hopes, all our prayers would surround HIM and nothing/no one else. It's time to wake up out the daydream we've been in. It's time to give up the things that we so desperately thought would fill us up. It's time to fall more passionately in love with Jesus. Our time on this earth is short...and our calling is sure. He has called us to WALK WORTHY of the calling with which we were called, so why aren't we? Oh, that the church would wake up and begin seeking things above, and forgetting about all the materialism on this earth. Jesus is worth it all... all else can fade.

"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures one earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, that your heart will be also." - Matthew 6:19-20

"But seek FIRST the kingdom of God and all HIS righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you." - Matthew 6:33

"Seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God." - Colossians 3:1
