Missed?

 Have you ever thought about what you would miss if you weren't any longer? Yes, you are now in your afterlife - I pray that it's Heaven for you because you chose to be a believer and accepted Jesus's gift of eternal life and continue to grow in the call the Lord has on your life. But, put aside where you are and can you think of anything you'd be missing? 

Would you miss family... or a specific family member? Do you know why? And, if you are a believer, did you ever take the time to know if that person was saved? How did you share with them? If it was a friend... or a 'bff' friend? Do you know why you would miss them? And, if you are a believer, did you ever take the time to know if that person was saved? How did you share with them? Would it be your job, the work the Lord gave you? Did it touch lives? What you did... was it meaningful?  How, Why was it meaningful? Was it a particular sport? or your leisure time activity? How, Why was it meaningful? These are part of our treasurers. Are you following my train of thought? 

   " “Do not store up for yourselves [material] treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in and steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart [your wishes, your desires; that on which your life centers] will be also." [Matthew 6:19-21]

There your heart will be also... that's the point. Do we follow this principle or do we focus on the tangible and here and now? Don't say you don't... I think we all do until we realize the significance. IF, and that's the motivation, if we want the people (forget things... we have no idea what we'll be seeing in Heaven but this earth's is merely a foggy image) to be with us, WE have to take the risk we might be rejected. It can come down to - which is most important? That the (person) be part of our now? Or that they have the opportunity to accept Jesus as their Lord and you'll see them again too? Never an easy call when it's family or a close friend. And really… it’s always our responsibility to at least check. If they are, you'll probably receive a knowing smile... if they aren't, you'll probably taste their anger.
