Today I am thankful for the Riches waiting in heaven. All the gold, silver and precious gems in the world pale in comparison with the riches in heaven. God's Word says to lay up treasures in heaven. We do this by serving the Lord and doing good works out of a pure heart. The Lord knows every thought and intention of the heart and He judges our motives. When we perform an action out of a pure heart, we are laying up treasures in heaven.
One day, maybe in the near future, I will get to take all of those Riches that are stored up in heaven and lay them at the Savior's feet. What a sobering, and at the same time, thrilling thought. Sobering because I want to have many Riches to give; thrilling because I will have the chance to give something back to my Savior! May the Lord help us this Christmas, and all year long, to serve him with a pure heart and self-less intentions.

Beautifully written! Thank you for this awesome reminder that we are laying up treasure in Heaven! Treasures that we get to give to our Saviour, He's given us so much that we do not deserve!
