Gospel: Matthew 6:19-23
“The lamp of the body is the eye. If your
eye is sound, your whole body will be filled with light; but if your eye is
bad, your whole body will be in darkness. And if the light in you is darkness,
how great will the darkness be.”

Reflection:
There’s a story of a young, bright man who declined every opportunity to get wealthy in favor of serving God. After twenty years, his batch had an alumni homecoming. And many of his batchmates were already executives of private and government corporations.
How about him? He was still serving God. Compared to them who were complaining of many sickness brought about by the pressure of this world. His batch mates noticed his refreshing and healthy physical appearance.
When you focus on God rather than this world and when you store up treasures for heaven rather than this world. You will not only have good physical appearance you will also have a healthy spiritual life. You will also have a close relationship with Jesus.
Spiritual health is the greatest wealth yet many of us are blinded by material riches that we consider it our greatest wealth. What good would it do us if we have accumulated all the wealth in this world if our spirits are in poor health? What good will it do us if we gain all the wealth in this world if we cannot go to heaven after our journey is over?
Whatever we have in this world we will leave behind sooner or later or it may leave us behind. Yet, whatever we have invested for God in this world will be our passport to heaven to be with Jesus.
What are you investing on right now? Are you still investing on the things of this world? – Marino J. Dasmarinas
