Investing in Others

When you help people without any thought of what you get out of it, you are investing in heaven's bank--"laying up treasure in heaven" is the way Paul put it.  One of the reasons we invest so little in the currency of heaven is that heaven is out of sight. We want dividends now, not later.  Neither do we make a connection in our thinking between investing in the lives of people here and getting credit in the bank of heaven.
