Jesus said to store up treasures in Heaven instead of here on Earth. Ok, I admit I dont know anything about this. The first time I heard anything about this was extremely recently! And it confused me so very much I think we both kinda gave up. I decided it is not something I needed to know now, it would come later. But I dont want to talk about what it means for after death anyway.... I want to talk about something Earthly. Hoarders. One reason hoarders hoard I think is because their soul feels it has no treasures for heaven and they try to fill that void here on Earth probably never knowing this! They instinctively know they need treasures but dont know the truth of what they really need.
I have known hoarders. This fits the bill from my point of view.....It may be very different but I just had thought...And I think of my little "collections". I have a Taz collection. I have teddy bears, and clowns....I wonder if this is why...so naturally I have to do some studying on this too!!
Ladies and Gentlemen, when you graduated you DID NOT STOP STUDYING AND LEARNING, READING AND NOTE TAKING. As a christian you HAVE to constantly be reading the Bible and other books....remember your devoted time to God...you should approach that time like the hardest school subject you ever had....For me, as a new christian, I find this very true, it may not be so dyer as you mature...but then again, since you will NEVER know everything about God, it may not change....
Ok sorry, back to hoarding...so I have my little collections and taz is my fav. I seriously have it in a locked room. yes. seriously. I have spent many many years on it and so have friends! My clowns are really kinda mean cause I keep them because some people are afraid of them. My dad started me on it when I was a child. I dont have many and they are not overtly displayed in my home....My teddy bears remind me of cute cuddly safe feelings you know? So do i have these because I know I should be gathering treasures for after death? Is that even the right phrasing? after physical death maybe better? What are those treasures and how do you get them? Well I am told it is your "good deeds" on earth. If you convert people. If you do the right things at the right times....and it earns rewards later? I dont fully grasp this concept. Because doesnt the bible aslo say that your heart when doing these deeds are judged as well...like if you do good deeds just because you will later be rewarded, it does not count?? so why even preach aobut it?? Those are wooden treasures and worthless to God. the jewles on the crown are good deeds and the crown is I dont know....I still dont think I am ready for this yet. but I wanted to get this thought out....
