Luke 12:32-36

32You are only a small group of people, but do not be afraid. Your Father God has given his kingdom to you. He is happy to do that.

33So sell what you have and give the money to poor people. Then you will have valuable things in heaven. That is like keeping your money in a bag that will never have any holes in it. There, the value of your things will never become less. There, nobody can take them from you. Insects cannot destroy them.

34If you do that, you will be thinking a lot about heaven. That is where you will have stored your valuable things.’

35Jesus said, ‘Always be ready for my return. Be like people that are ready to start work at any time. They have put on their clothes so that they are ready for work. And they have lit their lamps.

36You must be like servants that are waiting for their master to arrive. When he returns home from the marriage party, he will knock on the door. His servants should be ready to open it for him immediately.
