Don't worry about a thing. If you feel a sense that God is making you into His kingdom you need to consider 'backup'. You have no cause the worry, as the Bob Marley song goes, and as Jesus taught, but there is the need to backup your life. Like backing up files to the online 'cloud' there are spiritual clouds where we can backup our lives, our worldly achievements and wealth, for later when we really need it. Backup that life of yours. Protect it from tomorrow's misfortunes. Don't worry, but everything won't all be alright. God will care for you and so the worst is not too bad, but the worst will come eventually and all you have now will be gone when you die or when calamity comes. It is like an insurance policy. You pay into it and others get the benefit of being able to make claims, and eventually you too might claim. Those claims they make are paid out of your premiums. Backing up our lives is like that. We give out while we have enough to do so. Others benefit when they are in dire need. Eventually we too might be in need and their generosity and plenty might be there for us too. While we are not in need we give to help those who are. God keeps a tally, a cosmic ledger - karma if you like to call it that. The good we do to others comes back to meet us when we need it most - even after we have died and lost everything. It is kept in heaven - backed up in the spiritual cloud - for us. That is how we can back up our lives. Treasure in heaven will make us more spiritual too as we change our focus from worldly wealth to heavenly imperishable wealth and we get cleaner in our minds as we think more of how to help the poor and we start to actually send our wealth their way. But we must do it secretly so we do not seek honour from others as we give. Such honour is a benefit that invalidates our heavenly claim - our karma - our treasure in heaven. Giving secretly takes a bit of doing but is not entirely impossible. It is a matter of not publicising our giving at all, unlike those who do not know this secret process, who do not have this kingdom of God. God gave this teaching to Jesus to pass on to us, if we follow him.
