"Enjoying abundance now means I'm not storing up treasures in heaven"

Your Father isn't asking you to choose between enjoying the party now or having blessings in heaven—He's the one who throws abundant celebrations in both realms. He gave you His Son; how will He not also freely give you everything else, here AND there?
