"Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." -Matthew 6:19-21.
Where are you laying up treasures? It can be so hard to lose focus on what is really important. We try so hard to gain things on earth, when really those things will never matter. We should be building up riches in Heaven, where everything is eternal and nothing ever changes. I know that I struggle with this, with realizing that nothing I do here matters unless it is of eternal value; meaning that I shared Christ with someone, invited someone to church, or helped someone in need. Even obeying parents and teachers is eternal; obeying the Bible will get you rewards in Heaven.
Where is your heart? If you have a deep passion for something that occupies much of your time, it is probably safe to say your heart is there. I love blogging. I do spend a lot of time on it, probably a little more than I should. I could be using that time to read my Bible more and instead, I spend it on things that may or may not have eternal value. Working on putting my heart on things Heavenly instead of things earthly.
