Rejoice to know Me and rejoice to do My will. You are preparing treasure for yourself that has eternal value in My Kingdom. That which is intangible now will become so very real, and that which is tangible will pass away. Set your gaze on My Kingdom purposes, and let the grip of the world loosen on your lives.
Seek me in My holiness, and rededicate your lives back to My service. Then you will know great joy as we labor together in the harvest fields. You will know great satisfaction that your labor is not in vain. Do not think by following My commandments that you are wasting your time. You are making the most of your time in the most precious way imaginable.
You are storing up spiritual treasure for yourself when you change the lives of others for Me. No one can take that away from you and nothing can destroy it. It is safe forever in My sight and holy unto Me. I cherish the obedience of My children as a parent cherishes the obedience of their offspring. When they obey them readily and with delight, it is the greatest gift to those who care for them.
So it is with Me. Your obedience to My Word is not a small passing matter. It is central to the outworking of My will and purposes for your lives. When you are obedient you can receive so much of My promised goodness, which is a delight to My eyes and a joy to My heart. Your response to Me matters more than you know now and in the age to come.

What we do in this life for God's purposes and His Kingdom does matter in the time to come.
