The Kingdom of Heaven is like a [money] Tree.

The Money Tree.

Did you watch the link up there?! You kind of have to if you want any of this post to make sense. [just so you know!]

My pastor [Tooty!] showed this video this morning at church and I found it to be quite profound. There was a free gift placed before each and every person that walked by that tree. Some people simply looked and moved on, other laughed shook their heads and moved on, some stopped and read the message and walked away...others walked right on by with out even noticing the money was there for the taking. Thus I liken this here "money tree" to the Kingdom of Heaven, like I suggested in my little notes' title. I feel as though the in the same manner that some people treated this tree filled with $100 of cash...they treat the Kingdom of Heaven.

I don't really think I have anything too profound to say currently. Other than that I felt a revelation as I watched this clip today. I want to be starving for the things of God. This is easily one of my favorite quotes from a sermon that John G. Lake delivered in his day;

Blessed is he who regards the interests of the Kingdom of Heaven as paramount to every other interest in the world, paramount to his own personal interests. Blessed is he whose interest in life, whose interest in the world is only used to extend the interest of the Kingdom of Heaven. Blessed is he who has lost his own identity as an individual and has become a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven. blessed is he who sees the Kingdom of Heaven as the ultimate, to be possessed. --John G. Lake

Let's not miss the simplicity of loving Jesus & the recieving of His free gift of life. And let's not grow weary, but let the fire burn within [and out] for all to see and know who our God is.
