Treasures in Heaven
We must all realize how very brief this life is, and how uncertain it is. Any one of us may be gone before another day dawns. Therefore, our greatest concern should not be that we have plenty so that we may enjoy life, but that we are obeying God and are putting His concerns first. Jesus commanded that we lay up treasures in Heaven (Matthew 6:19-21). There is nothing wrong with preparing for old age, but while doing so, remember the present and eternal needs of others as well.
Life eternal with our Lord will be so glorious, so wonderful, and so everlasting that no suffering or pain or waiting can be counted too high a price to pay. Remaining faithful to the end is an absolute imperative.
-The Last Days Bible
