Treasures in Heaven

When we are tempted to invest our faith in things like clothes or cars or cash, Jesus inevitably reminds us that there will also be things like moths and rust and thieves:

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” ~ Matthew 6:19-21

When we put our faith in that which lasts, our hearts and lives and investments of time, talent, energy and wealth will naturally follow.
