Money Well Spent

“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” (Matthew 6:19-21).

$10 spent on ice cream cones lasts a few minutes.

$10 spent on lunch lasts for 4 or 5 hours.

$10 spent for gas lasts for a few miles.

$10 spent on a hair cut lasts a few days.

$10 spent on a pair of socks lasts a few weeks.

$10 spent for a hat lasts a season or two.

$10 spent on a vehicle lasts a few years.

$10 spent for a home lasts for generations…

But $10 spent for Christian service will last for eternity.

“For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love, which ye have showed toward His name” (Hebrews 6:10).
