Matthew 6:19-21
Treasures in Heaven
19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Where our hands are at the moment are what we can touch...Where our eyes are at the moment are what we can see...But where the heart is -is how we feel about things...And where the heart is and from the heart -is how we value and really see the importance of things...
Things we see and feel are easier for us to understand...We trust what we see and feel...It seems that what we understand and the better we understand something, the more we have a tendency to put value on those things (that we understand)...But there is also great value in mystery...Can we also trust in things we cannot see and feel?...We must allow for mystery and mystique in our lives...Things we find difficult to understand can give us value and meaning...So there can be things we do not understand that have much meaning...Those things that are sacred and holy stretch our minds have a greater value, yet we find them with great mystery and difficult to understand...Jesus teaches us about these great mysteries of the eternities and teaches us there is great value and are the best of treasures in life...What is contained in mystery may bring us full contentment and the true meaning in life...
