What's in your account?

"Not that I am looking for a gift, but I am looking for what may be credited to your account." ( Philippians 4:17)

We work hard to build us up savings, retirement, and other resources to give us more comfort while here on earth. All of these "things" will one day turn to rust and we certainly can't take them with us in eternity. So why work so hard for something that is temporary?

The Bible tells us to "not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." (Matt.6:19-21)

What ashame if we were to build up our earthly account only to find our heavenly account empty one day. We are to build us up a heavenly account! Everytime you win a soul to Christ that is credited to your account! Everytime you give to a missionary who wins a soul to Christ that is credited to your account! Everytime you serve or bless others you build up your account! Everytime you take the time to spend with a child that goes to your account!

So how does your account look? What's in your account?
