Pain that brings you closer to God is always better than any comfort that keeps you away from Him.

Unconditional love is a gift from God that surpasses our understanding. It is a love that knows no bounds, that remains steadfast through every season of life. 💙

Study a Bible verse with me 💕

In this analysis, I will explore the meaning and implications of Matthew 6:21 from the New Living Translation (NLT).

Mat 6:21 : “Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.”

This verse is part of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, where He teaches about the importance of prioritizing spiritual over material wealth. Here’s the reasoning behind this verse:

• In this context, "treasure" refers to what one values most highly ; whether it is material wealth, possessions, or spiritual values. The "heart" in biblical language often represents the center of a person’s emotions, desires, and will.

• Jesus emphasizes that what you value most (your treasure) will dictate where your focus, energy, and passions lie (your heart).

• Earlier in the passage (Matthew 6:19-20), Jesus contrasts storing up treasures on earth, which are temporary and vulnerable to decay and theft, with storing up treasures in heaven, which are eternal and secure.

Mat 6:19-20 : “Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal.”

Jesus encourages His followers to invest in things of eternal value, such as spiritual growth, acts of kindness, and a relationship with God, rather than in temporary, material possessions.

• Where a person allocates their time, energy, and resources is a clear indicator of what they truly value. If one’s treasure is in material wealth, their heart will be centered on acquiring and protecting that wealth. If one’s treasure is in heavenly things, their heart will be aligned with God’s purposes, focusing on love, service, and spiritual growth.

• This verse invites us to examine our own lives to see where our true priorities lie. Are we more concerned with accumulating wealth and possessions, or are we truly investing in things that have eternal significance? By shifting our focus to heavenly treasures, we can surely cultivate desires and habits that reflect the values of our Heavenly Father.

• In summary, Matthew 6:21 teaches us that what we value most (our treasure) reflects our true priorities (our heart). Jesus urges us to store our treasure in heaven by focusing on spiritual values and eternal things, rather than on temporary, material possessions. This aligns our hearts with God's purposes and the values of His Kingdom.

Have a Blessed day 🙏🤍

Metamorphosis

Imagine waking up and deciding not to hide your true identity, feelings, and beliefs anymore.

Taking the time to explore all the possibilities of what your life could be without wearing a mask.

Freeing up your mind from the distractions, stress and fear that you have been experiencing for far longer than necessary.

Well today is that day Sis!

Be encouraged, get ready for a big change,

A departure from what you’ve become accustomed to.

Just know that Ọlọrun, Olódùmarè [The ruler of Heaven and earth, our Supreme God] has an abundance of blessings in store for you.

(Amin Ase)

Embrace your new self, your new path, and believe that your future will bring you closer to your divine purpose, and that your biggest dreams will finally become fulfilled.

Stop holding yourself back, worried that you might fail, because you’re about to fly 🦋

God's grace carried me here and by His grace, I will continue to believe and persevere.

God is faithful. Not only sometimes, not just when it's convenient, but always.

So the next time you begin to question or find yourself in a situation that seems impossible, know without a doubt that God is faithful. We can hold onto that promise today and everyday.

John 15:12-17 (NASB). “This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. You are My friends if you do what I command you. No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you. You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you. This I command you, that you love one another.”

“The Best Friend You Will Ever Have” By In Touch Ministries:

“Our Savior is forever faithful and will meet our every need.”

“Many of us are familiar with the hymn “What a Friend We Have in Jesus.” We know that our Savior is a great friend (John 15:15), but let’s consider some specific aspects of His relationship with us. He is ...

Committed to us. This commitment is for more than a lifetime—it’s eternal. And though life is bound to hold some disappointments, the Lord Himself will never let us down.

Open and transparent at all times. Jesus will continually show us more about Himself as we desire to learn.

Sensitive to our wants as well as our needs. He knows how to meet our deepest longings and lovingly invites us—over and over—to connect with Him.

An inspiring, comforting listener who’s never quick to criticize. He doesn’t interrupt, and His eyes are so lovingly fixed on us that His heart hears exactly what we are saying.

What kind of friend is Jesus? John 15:13 answers that question: “Greater love has no one than this, that a person will lay down his life for his friends.” Because He gave Himself for all people, we as His followers can certainly offer our friendship to someone else. Who in your circle of influence needs the sacrifice of your time or care?”
