Lay Up Treasures in Heaven

The Bulletin Board is for gratitude for Christian Science and the Church, as well as timely excerpts from the Bible, the works of Mrs. Eddy, and the early workers that help and encourage. We are very grateful for all posts that conform to these guidelines, but will edit or remove anything that the Practitioners feel is not in complete accord with pure Christian Science or in any way disrespectful of it.

We also ask that you keep your postings as concise as possible. If you quote the Bible, please use The King James Version, as this is what Mrs. Eddy used. Thank you!

    In our lesson, Jesus instructs us to “lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven.” I have been thinking about what that means and how it is done. First of all, it means I have to treasure the things of God. I have to love whatever is true, principled, loving, and meek. It starts with an honest desire to obey God each day, to meet the needs of those under my care or in my presence. I have to appreciate that I have a God-given purpose. Nobody can steal your relationship with God, nor take your confidence that God will supply your needs when you are faithful to Him. Every good deed you do is a deposit in the bank of God, as Mrs. Evans used to say. Nobody can take away the joy of knowing that a good and loving God is always with you, and that “Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need.”

    And when He provides your basic needs, you can never lose them when you are grateful to God for them and are willing to use them as He directs. These are treasures in heaven, not on or of earth. And the satisfaction they bring can never be lost or taken from you.
