What makes us happy? Our friends, family, pets, material
things etc. but do these things keep us happy? Do they give us an everlasting
peace and joy? I’m sure we all know that they don’t.
In a world of materialism, we are only “happy” when we have
the latest gadgets, fashion etc. I know, I myself also fall victim to these
things. Recently I have acquired a Blackberry and new laptop. However, when I first
got them, I had to remind myself that these are only earthly things, yes they
make my life easier, but one day they are bound to brake and then where will I get
“happiness” from.
Y’shua said in Matthew 6:19-20 Lay not up for yourselves
treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves
break through nor steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where
thieves do not break through nor steal; for where your treasure is, there will
your heart be also.
The treasures in heaven are the things that will last;
peace, love, forgiveness etc. No one is able to take these away, no one can
steal them from us. Satan will try his hardest, but as long as we have Y’shua
on our side, we will not lose. I remember a Sunday school song that I used to
sing when I was small “You ain’t gonna get to heaven in your rocking chair”
Just like we won’t get to heaven through Bluetooth or in our fancy cars.
We will only get to Heaven through Y’shua, the one who gives us everlasting peace, joy and love.
