Lasting Treasure

Some girls dream of fame and money,
Of castles flowing with milk and honey,
A life that's always bright and sunny,
And dream of always having plenty.

Fame and money will fill one with pride.
Reality and castles will always collide.
The storms of life will leave our souls tried.
God uses those storms to change us inside.

No, the things that will last must be our desire.
We must ask our Lord to set us on fire,
And give us strength that we may not tire,
That we may take joy in all he requires.

So store up those dreams and treasures on high,
And your joy and your blessings, they'll never die.
What the world has to offer leaves one barren and dry,
For heaven is where our lasting treasures lie.

By Candace M.

Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where nether moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is there your heart will be also.

Matthew 6: 19-21
