Investing

Investing can be risky. It most often involves a cost yet followed by a return.  I'm not speaking about the stock market. It might include everything besides the markets.

We invest our time, which is valuable . We invest our energy, love, property,  loyalty and trust. I think you get the picture.

We invest in a person, one on one. Teachers can invest in one as they invest their time and knowledge into an entire class.

Careers and position , blogging,  tweeting, calling a lonely person with your cell phone to tell them you love and  care for them.  You may write a book investing in a topic or worldview. You spent that time and energy, making an investment to; instruct, entertain or cause a revolution.

The return on any investment can be minimal to rich eternal results and rewards for you. Investing might accrue in value. We are also to add value investing in lives that might feel hopeless and unimportant or
unlovable. Plant a seed and watch it grow!

We make investment as we live for others bringing God the glory. Jesus Himself said:  "Do not store up for yourselves treasure on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.  But store up for yourselves treasures in Heaven, where moth or rust do not destroy and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. "

Let us again go, and invest into the lives adding value to men, women, boys and girls.  Share the good news of Jesus Christ. We just might have the reward of meeting  somewhere in eternity.
