- Eternal Treasures-

~useless treasures that i keep seeking~

Eternal Treasures

when i face my Creator,
what will my response be?
will i be able to give an account,
on the life He has given me?
what things do i hold dear to me?
does these things last for eternity?
will everything that i own,
make a difference when my life is no longer to be?

though i know this,
why do i still seek the things that doesn't matter?
why do i only seek things that bring me pleaseure?
why do i store up these useless tresures?
Oh Lord teach me to seek the things that matter.
not just the things that bring me pleasure.
for moth and rust will destroy all that i treasure,
but the things of the Lord will last forever.

Oh Lord thank you for reminding me,
to seek things that matter.
You said Oh Lord,
where my treasure is,
there my heart will be also,
so Lord teach me to store my treasures in You,
because You are all that matters.

so my friends i pray you'll also remember,
to seek things that matter,
let us make a difference where we are,
and bring glory to God's Kingdom.
hopefully when we meet our creator in Heaven,
He will say to us 'well done, you good and faithful servant'.

words by Alvin Lee

as i sat there and read this, it really struck me that all my lie... or at least most of it here in melbourne.. i've been chasing all these things that don't really matter...
spending heaps and heaps on clothes after clothes that i don't really need...
buying small little cheap nick nacks to match wat i wear,
when altogether i can say i've spent a bomb..
I am so Vain!!does it reallie matter that i look nice when i go out...
and embarassing as it my sound i even dress up when i'm at home
can ask my bixie to testify to that.
but then again i always told myself that it motivates me to study...
WHAT CRAP!!! its just another lame excuse to cover up my vanity....

just look at the amount of earrings i have... and those are just studs...
can u imagine the no. of danglies i have...
its about time i started seeking eternal treasures
but its so difficult to overcome the temptation of shopping
but God please show me Your grace and mercy and help me only get things that i need and not want..
and at the end of the day when i die..
where do all these things go???
they are left behind here,
my life would jus be summarised as a 'dash' on my tombstone,
not by the wonderful matching i made with clothes and accessories..

~Lord help me to live simply so that others can simply live~
