Look After Your Soul

“Because it`s essential to have a never-ending life by the creator, isn`t it?”

In Matthew chapter 11 verse 28 it says: “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” The desire of God's heart is for us to live quiet and peacefully. Jesus, with His infinite wisdom never forces us to follow Him, if He, the Almighty, never obliges us, why do you think you need to live with heavy burdens? Why do you think you need to follow religions for being obliged? Think about it, He's back with open arms waiting for you, but you need to go towards the Messiah, and so He will carry your burden. We need to find a better life, a cure for the disease, a better job, prosperity for our home, and so many other things, but the main thing is the salvation of our soul because it is eternal and it doesn`t belong to the earth life In Matthew chapter 5 verse 29 the Holy Bible says: “If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.” Our main goal has to be to seek the salvation of our soul because that`s what will live forever; our body will return to the shape of dust when we die. In this verse above, Jesus Christ shows us how fundamental it is to look after our soul because if there is something preventing you from having your eternal life He suggests us to get it from our body.

Place the priority in your life my beloved, put the spiritual life in the first place because that's what Jesus teaches us, and other things will be added. Health is important to live well, but one day we will die and everything will be over, our soul is fundamental though because it is eternal.

We need to take care of what is eternal because you will live forever. For example: when you purchase a mobile phone, you wear it a case and a protection film, everything to make the phone be in perfect condition, right? If by chance, the cellphone falls, what will damage it? The cover and the film, agree? It's the same, we want a good life, with abundance, with health, with material things, but the key is to take care of our soul. After reading or hearing this word, if the Holy Spirit shows you something that you need to give up on in order to have eternal life, do it. Don't think it over because the key is to have eternal life close to the creator, isn`t it? Remember the passage from the Bible of Lazarus` resurrection? When Jesus Christ came to the place where everyone was, instead of resurrecting Lazarus, He prayed and urged Martha (Lazarus` sister). The key was every present people minded his or her own soul. Preserve your spiritual side my beloved because the other things the Lord will add.
