Real Treaures

This cross was a gift from the Sunday School at my last

congregation. Real treasures are not things. The real treasure 

is living in relationship with God and with one another.

 “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 is your treasure? Where is your heart? In this world? In this physical world or in the Kingdom that Jesus has prepared for you? What treasure could be greater than being reconciled to God our Father? Expensive cars? Huge homes? A closet full of designer clothes? Expensive jewelry? What? Fame? Fortune? What treasures in this world demand your attention at the expense of a relationship with God our Father, God our Savior, God our Comforter? 

Do you love God? Do you truly love Him? Where your treasure is, there your heart is! Get real! 

God grant that all eyes would be opened so that the real treasure given to us through Jesus Christ our Lord might be revealed.
