Give God Your Whole Heart! Live a Divine Life for God, Not Trying to Gain All in this World, but in Heaven!

She threw in two mites, which make a farthing. 

- Mark 12:42

The Mornings With God App had a nice Bible verse and write-up today I wanted to share. We really need to think hard about all of this in life, what is most important. Put first things first! God and Heaven! The App said, "It is not the size of our achievement, as men see it, that makes its real value. A seed is a small thing, but it has in it a mysterious germ, and wherever it may fall it will grow into a beautiful thing. A secret lies hidden in many a quiet word or deed; it carries in it a germ of divine life.

“What can I do today? 

Not praise to win, or glory to attain; 

Not gold, or ease, or power, or love to gain, 

Or pleasure gay; 

But to impart 

Joy to some stricken heart; 

To send some heaven–born ray 

Of hope, some sad, despairing 

Soul to cheer; 

To lift some weighting doubt; 

Make truth more clear; 

Dispel some dwarfing fear; 

To lull some pain; 

Bring to the fold again 

Some lamb astray; 

To brighten life for some one, 

Now and here, 

This let me do today.”

What can we say? Money is not everything! We need to stop thinking that money and power, control, ego, greed, all of it is something we need to attain. It is not! We need to be people of goodwill, humble, follow God and the teachings of Jesus Christ! That is what is most important on this Earth School! Praise God, give Him thanks, do something for someone else, think of others. We need to stop thinking of ourselves, our ego, being greedy, selfish, self-serving. We serve a Higher Power, God, and it is not all about us! We are more blessed when we don't put wealth, ego, and greed above everything else. Give God your whole heart!
