“Where Your
Treasure Is,
There Your Heart
Will Be Also”
“Do not store up for yourselves
treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and
steal; but store up for yourselves treasures in
heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in
and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
Treasure that is of this world is
vulnerable to being lost, stolen, destroyed, or devalued. If that is our focus,
we will only experience frustration.
If our hearts are drawn instead to the
value of the eternal – godly character, relationships, souls
– we won’t be disappointed. We will become rich in the things of Christ. And
treasure in heaven can never be taken away!
Treasures in
heaven are laid up
as treasures on earth
are laid down.
