Treasures in Heaven
“For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.” Matt 6:21

Where is your treasure? So many things come to mind when we think of what Jesus
is saying in this verse that begin our passage. Are you earthly-minded or heavenly-
minded? Are you investing in the future eternity to come, or are you investing in the
here and now? Are you enthralled with the temporary versus the permanent? Jesus
uses examples to show how the things we deem most important are only temporary.

What do you deem as valuable, because what you deem as valuable shows you
where your heart is? Maybe it is money and wealth; maybe it is power and the desire
to be recognized as a leader; maybe it is looking spiritual on the outside so that
people think you have it together. Maybe it is popularity and acceptance through nice
clothes, a home, or an X-box gaming console. Maybe it is your family and how you
will raise great kids. Here, Jesus is calling us to change our minds from the
temporary to the eternal, from the things that are passing by to the things that are
permanent.

What an awesome thing to know that as believers our inheritance is waiting for us,
that as children of God, we will inherit eternity! Being with Christ that is our reward!
Those who strive to store up treasures here on earth will be disappointed because
those treasures will only fade away. But if we are serving God with all our heart,
soul, mind and strength; and if we share our blessing to those in need, we will not be
disappointed.

How am I managing my treasure to serve God and share to those in need so as to
gain treasures in heaven?
