Empty handed we came, empty handed we will go.
1 Timothy 6:7, For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
I don’t know about you but I really don’t remember much about my birth. I was there but I don’t know who else was. That’s not exactly true, my mom was there, lol. I wasn’t there when my son was born, so I can’t really tell you much about who was at his birth other than my wife. Anyway, I was there when my oldest daughter was born and you know what, she didn’t have anything when she was born. No cell phone, no bank account, no friend’s list, or anything! And guess what, she will not be taking anything out of this life either!
Friend, there isn’t anything wrong with saving for old age, investing in your future, or taking care of yourself during retirement. However, if that is what you live for, you’re missing the privilege of giving! The blessing in giving is seeing how God uses what you give to bless others! Whether it be giving to missionaries in their God called ministry or if it is being a blessing to someone in need, you will always be blessed in helping others! And just remember, you may chase that almighty dollar throughout life but you can’t take it with you!
