Financed in the Heart

Life, Adventure or Battle

By William M. Self

Financed in the Heart

Your adventure is financed

by the treasure in your heart.

I love an adventure.

I love small ones and big ones.

I love the thrill of pushing the abilities

 and gifts God has given me.

I love the smell of something new.

I love learning something new.

Adventure is the exploration of life.

It is tapping into “life’s fullness”

Jesus promises in John 10:10.

Generally, when I look at taking on a new adventure

the first thing I look at is the size of my wallet.

As I look back on the great adventures of

my life, I think they all went over budget.

Although money has a part in most everything we do,

 it really is not what finances an adventure.

  

Every adventure is financed in the heart.

The successful adventures are the ones

where we go after it with a “whole heart”.

The greater the treasures of the

heart, the greater the adventure.

The greater the treasures of faith, hope, and love

in your heart, the greater your adventures will be.

But great adventures will always go over budget.

Great adventures cost and the reason we

take on these adventures is to gain not lose.

Great adventures always have reward.

The archived goal will always give

you more than what you spent.

Even the adventure that fails, has potential

returns that add to the treasures of the heart.

Every promise of God has a pot

of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Every adventure of faith in those

promises will end in great treasure.

Jesus said consider the cost.

To successfully navigate through the adventures of life,

 you will need a heart filled with good treasures.

 

Capital One says…

“What is in your Wallet?”

But the real question is…

“What is in your heart?”
