“Treasures”
Jesus’ words in Matthew 6:19-21 have crossed my mind over and
over again, as I have been trying to decide; Take – Toss – Store? Going through everything you own, with those
questions in your mind, while at the same time that verse is playing in the
background, has been quite a challenge.
What things are so important that you would want to store them? “One
man’s garbage is another man’s treasure”, they say. Am I so ungrateful for what
I have that I can just ‘toss’ it out?
Will I need this particular thing in Mexico? Will we have room for it? Those questions we have battled again and
again, as we go through our ‘treasures’ to get ready to leave. It has not been easy.
One thing I do know, I want treasures in heaven. My perspective must be eternal. I want to put my energy into people, into
kingdom things, for in the end everything else will perish.
Verse 21 says: “For where your treasure is, there your heart
will be also.”
