Matthew 19:29, Mark 10:29-30
If I give up my treasures here on earth for the sake of Christ, then I will be rewarded a hundred times over when this life is over.
One time I did something nice for a neighbor, and she said "Thank you so much! You just built a giant pool for your mansion in heaven!". I have always remembered that, because I know that by doing good, forsaking all you have, and following Christ will make me happy, and secure a happy home when I pass into the next life. I find it really hard sometimes, to forgo doing things, wearing things, eating things, etc. in order to follow Christ. It is really hard to give things up that I want, but when I feel the spirit and I know I am doing the right thing, the feeling is worth the effort. I want to feel that happy all the time, and I know that God only asks hard things of us so that we can be happy. That is the true goal in life, to be happy.
