Treasure

Wherever your heart is, there your treasure will be.--Jesus

 

Where do we think Jesus would have us seek our treasure? Does He want us to find our treasure in money, fame, sex, education, power, drugs, alcohol, etc...? He wants us to find it in Himself. Why would He want this? Is it because He is an ego maniac? Is it because He is insecure and needs the praise of humans? He needs nothing, so it must be something else. When someone places all of their hope, treasure, and love in something, that something becomes why they wake up everyday and get out of bed. If Jesus is why we live, then we will live for beauty, forgiveness, grace, truth, creativity, holiness, love, and others well being will come before our own. Where are our hearts today?
