Morning Word from Pastor Peter Sunagawa

We are born naked, and when we die, we cannot take any of our earthly possessions with us.

This is a fact.

However, many people forget this and strive to accumulate earthly wealth.

It is important to understand that, ultimately, after death...😨 you cannot take anything with you.

If you have food and clothing, you should be content with that.

...The houses, cars, money, fields that we think we own...

In reality...😨
How many people understand that these are things we are borrowing from God...🤔?

...Even if you own many vacation homes... or many private jets...

When we leave this world...
We must leave it all behind❗️.

The houses and cars you owned... will be registered in someone else's name❗️.
...Wise people... do not risk their lives for things they cannot take to heaven,

...but strive for things they can take to heaven❗️. Store up your treasures in heaven.

...Because that is where you will live forever.
...
Shalom 😃
