Our Treasure
by Danny C. Wash
What is it that we call our treasure?
Is it not something that gives us great pleasure.
An object of value beyond ordinary measure.
Jesus said that where our treasure is found
there will our heart be also. So we are told
our treasures laid up in Heaven will abound
to our ultimate benefit greater than much gold.
but if we are bound by our treasures on earth,
then our Heavenly treasures will be very dearth.
What are the Heavenly treasures of which He speaks?
These treasures are not material things of earth we now seek.
They are our acts of deep love and sacrificial behavior
by deeds of charity to the least of the these children of our Savior.
[“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust
destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves
treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves
do not break in or steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
Matthew 6: 19-21]
