GOD’S BANK OF LOVE

“Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.”

Isaiah 55: 2 King James Version

Jesus has commanded us to spread His Love to everyone. When missionaries go to foreign fields, it costs a lot of money. Even home missionaries have expenses and very little money. Sometimes we read in the newspaper that a big park is going to be built or the downtown area is going to be expanded. All of this costs a lot of money which could be spent on spreading the Love of Jesus.

It is nice to have all these pretty things. However, I think that it makes Jesus sad that we spend more money on material things than we do on spreading His Love and His Word to people. I am just as guilty as everyone else. I don’t need to buy pizzas, potato chips and soda. I could give that money to a family that has children who don’t have enough to eat.

If we would concentrate on making Jesus happy by spreading His Love to people, there wouldn’t be any need for welfare. We could use the money that we spend to build material things and give it to the people who are going hungry. There are many people in other countries that don’t have enough food to eat. Sad to say, even in America, there are children who don’t have enough to eat. How this must break the Heart of our Saviour!

Let’s get back to God’s plan for us; spreading His Love to people who are hurting and desperately need to know that someone loves them and cares about them. We need to invest our money into God’s Bank of Love.
