I used to read those occasional announcements in the newspaper, listing unclaimed assets available to unknown heirs and daydream I’d find my name listed somewhere within that magic list. I always wondered how anyone could have unknown relatives who could carelessly leave money in a forgotten account. How could you misplace a sum of money so carelessly? For sure, I knew exactly how much was in my wallet or bank account any given day.
The state posted these legal notices to give unknown heirs one last chance to claim their inheritance. If no one spoke up before the deadline, the gift would revert to the state. Many people did as I did, never really believing, sort of like wishing on a star. Most folks probably ignored these lists, figuring they'd prosper on their own. but most investments have an expiration date and expire when you do. They can't be spent across the border. A few may see the list too late; they find they could have been the missing heir, but missed the deadline. Heirs Unaware!
The Holy Bible is brimming with promises, offering membership in a family with untold wealth at the fingertips of all who ask. Receive everything due you as heir! Upon your request to the Owner of All There Is, He will add your name to His Book of Life, making you co-Heir of All There Is. He also declares there will be a deadline for any such claim. Don’t wait too long. Don’t be an Heir Unaware.
Sell your possessions, and give to the needy. Provide yourselves with moneybags that
` ` do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief
approaches and no moth destroys. Luke 12:33
