Where is a good place to invest?

Have you ever waited your whole life for that moment? Have you spend your life climbing that success ladder and to find out that ladder didn't actually took you where you think it would.

Are you the one waited for so long to graduate and get that job? Or you waited for your kids to leave that you can go back to work, and then to find out that wasn't it?

You are to be a person of a purpose of God and the emptiness of life shouldn't affect you.

The reason you feel emptiness is because you been seeking your own purpose and still haven't accomplished it yet.


Yes, your purpose isn't your job, your master degree or to any other hobby you are after.

The bible said, Seek ye the kingdom of God and all things should be added to you.

You see God will use your hard work, gift and education if you put God first. Your heavenly father know what you need and He will provide all your needs. It is OK to be excellence, hard work and studying.






1 Cor 10:31:"So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."

You are to serve the purpose of God. To Glorify Jesus Christ and advance the kingdom of God.

We will never have purpose unless God and what he want our priority and our focus on God.
Make your life count.  Just like we invest our money on stock market, gold, real estate and bonds, invest in the life of others.

You will reap harvest in the kingdom of God.

Like 10: 30-37: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side.  So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him.  He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’
Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”
  The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”
Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”

I don't know about you, for me when I am before God it s easy to ask for my needs to be met. I usually catch myself going over my list, then I will ask God to show me what he wants me to do.

Jes is my favorite writer. She has a gift in teaching wonderfully. She doesn't use social media, just her blog. She started blogging a year ago, but her blog focuses in glorifing God and God has blessed her. This is one of her post who do we glory. You can visit her at:

I pray this speaks to your heart and keep reminding yourself by saying,"It is not about me, it is about the purpose of God for which he's called me."


I will be glad to pray for you and I always appreciate your comments.
