The Greatest Treasure Is God Himself!

What greater treasures is there than being
reconciled to God through Jesus the Christ?

"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." Matt 6:19-21 NRSV 

Where do you invest your time; your talents; all the treasures that God has given you? Are you using them for the glory of God? Are you using them, not only to take care of your own needs; but, for the betterment of people around you. Some things are necessary: food, shelter, heat, clothing. Others things are not. They are luxuries. They can be excess baggage that steal away our time and our opportunity to be in a caring and loving relationship with God and with others.. 

The greatest treasure of God is being able to live in relationship with God and our brothers and sisters in Christ in the Kingdom of God. May God help us all to seek His Kingdom that we might know what a treasure living in His presence really is.

God's Peace - Pr. J
