NOURISH AND FLOURISH

Pleasure is temporary but joy is eternal. Why exchange the permanence of joy for pleasure which is passing. Man puts value on pleasure but God on things eternal. Therefore what is passing is not of any value to God. Place your value on things eternal and your life will be of substance. Substance is important for on that day of reckoning it is only that which is of substance that will not be burnt up. If you want to be fireproof then you have to build on substance. The values that undergird your life are what will last. Love, joy, peace and righteousness are eternal values to be nourished. When you nourish them then you will grow in them. What you nourish will flourish.
