The most precious thing
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also (Matthew 6, 21)
Jesus said to his disciples: "Do not store up treasures for yourselves on earth, where moths and woodworms destroy them and thieves can break in and steal. But store up treasures for yourselves in heaven, where neither moth nor woodworms destroy them and thieves cannot break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. The lamp of the body is the eye. It follows that if your eye is sound, your whole body will be filled with light. But if your eye is diseased, your whole body will be all darkness. If then, the light inside you is darkness, what darkness that will be!". (Matthew 6,19-23)
The hearts of the Lord's disciples must not be fixed on the benefits of this earth, but on those in heaven, where the treasures are never consumed and are safe from thieves. This is the only way we are able to rest assured, free from the anxiety that we might lose something. Ask yourself sincerely: What am I really attached to, the realities of heaven or earth?
