Grow up! You are Kingdom subjects!

"... I'm putting you on a light stand... shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives.  By opening up to others, you'll prompt people to open up with God...In a word... Grow up. You're kingdom subjects.  Now live like it.  Live out your God-created identity...generously and graciously toward others, the way God lives toward you."  Matthew 5:14-16, 48 MSG

God has put you here to shine for the world.  Therefore, if you live like a dark, cold, arrogant, mean person, then it is time for you to GROW UP!  You are God's child!  So, get off you pity-pot of life and start to live like it.  Live a life that others won't want to forget.

God's treasure

“And today God has reaffirmed that you are dearly held treasure just as he promised, a people entrusted with keeping his commandments, a people set high above all other nations that he’s made, high in praise, fame, and honor: you’re a people holy to God, your God. That’s what he has promised.” Deuteronomy 26:18-19,The Message (MSG)

 

You are God’s treasure set apart from the world, and one who is to be praised, and honored.  Yes, since you love God, you have a path of gold set before you and more treasures in life to come.  So, stay on course, and let those who choose not to follow God watch in astonishment as you live the great life that God has graciously given you to live.
