**What is the most important investment **
Click to expand...
you can make with
** your life?**
  • Jesus poses some probing questions to challenge our assumptions
  • about what is most profitable and worthwhile.
In every decision of life we are making ourselves a certain kind of person.
  • The kind of person we are, our character,
  • determines to a large extent the kind of future we will face and live.
It is possible that some can gain all the things they set their heart on,
only to wake up suddenly and discover
that they missed the most important things of all.

  • Of what value are material things if they don’t help you gain what truly lasts in eternity.
  • Neither money nor possessions can buy heaven,
  • mend a broken heart,
  • or cheer a lonely person.
Jesus asks the question: What will a person give in exchange for his or her life?
*
** Everything we have*
** is an out-right gift**
** from God.**

We owe him everything, including our very lives.
  • It’s possible to give God our money,
  • but not ourselves,
  • or to give him lip-service,
  • but not our hearts.
A true disciple gladly gives up all that he or she has in exchange for an unending life of joy and happiness with God.

God gives without measure.
The joy he offers no sadness or loss can diminish.
The cross of Christ leads to victory and freedom from sin, despair, and death.

What is the cross which Jesus Christ commands me to take up each day?
  • When my will crosses with his will,
  • then his will must be done.
  • Are you ready to lose all for Jesus Christ
  • in order to gain all with Jesus Christ?
"Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty,
** my memory, my understanding, and all my will, **
all that I have and possess.
** You have given them to me;**
** to you, O Lord, I restore them; all things are yours, dispose of them according to your will. **
**Give me your love and your grace, for this is enough for me." **
(Prayer of Ignatius of Loyola, 1491-1556)

Hi there, LO!.👋 …I am not too sure which thread you mean, can you give me a link please?
The other things is that I dont write these meditations they come from this site: rc.net/wcc/readings/index.html
I have only recently changed to this site, as the one I was using switched to paid subscription. So far I think the new site gives good meditations and it is free?

Blessings and my regards, LO…Barb:)
