Treasure in Heaven

“The good man out of his good treasure brings forth good, and the evil man out of his evil treasure brings forth evil.” Matthew 12:35

Dear Brothers and Sisters In Christ,

Behold the glory of God! Marvel at His wonderous creations, speak of His infinite existence, and give the peace of our Lord Jesus Christ to those who will accept it. I write of these things not for others, but for myself, to remind myself what it is I am to reflect upon daily and do my best to keep the commandments of Christ Jesus and I constantly fail at it.

I can only do what I am compelled to do. Hours, days, years have been spent in quiet contemplation and study and prayer always seeking His divine wisdom and forgiveness. I must return always to His fountain of Life to fill my cup with His life and love. It is both torture and ecstasy at once. To know that God almighty creator of all that exists, gave His only begotten son so that sin may be forgiven, for us humans on Earth, in love and mercy for all mankind who accept Christ  Jesus and believe that He is the son of the living God, that we may receive eternal life in the kingdom of heaven.

I also know that I must change my thoughts when I am drawn away from the light and see shadows in all that is around and of the world, the material world, ruled by ungodly forces bent on our destruction. It is then when we all must dig into our “good” treasure and return to the gospel of Jesus our Lord, to as He teaches, love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. Let the world do as it will – as we replace evil with good, encouraging all those who are in need of spiritual sustenance. Let us give of ourselves and our “good treasure” which comes from Jesus our Lord and our God by the Holy Spirit, and give unto those in need as if they were Christ himself, because they are He that suffers. As He teaches, “For whatever you do unto the least of these, you do to me.”

Yours In Christ,

Br.M.
