Matthew 6:19-21 - Where Your Treasure Is, There Your Heart Will Be Also.

Matthew 6:19-21 (NIV) 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 
moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves 
do not break in and steal.  For where your 
treasure is, there your heart will be also. 

COMMENTARY PEARL

   I'm a dreamer. I inherited this 
questionable "gift" from my father, a child at heart. 
Whenever his eyes took on that faraway look, I knew 
he was somewhere wonderful, a million miles 
away. Now I know this because I go there too. 
   Long ago, a myriad of ideas danced inside 
my head. I wanted my own inn. The next year I 
wished for a vintage car. Like soap bubbles 
floating free in the breeze, all those dreams drifted 
off and disappeared. And the goals I did achieve 
left me no happier than before. 
   Like the saying "Life happens," it did. 
Boy, did it! After a few setbacks and a lot of 
time, I gained a deeper understanding of 
contentment. I learned the difference between a want, a 
need - and a wish. Which means I don't dream 
smaller, I dream differently. 
   I use a mental checklist now, one geared 
toward an abundant life, not an empty existence of 
constantly reaching for more. I ask myself, Are these 
material desires and experiences self-centered or 
motivated to please the Lord? Could Jesus fill this 
void better than what I've chosen? Will the 
takeaway be temporary or eternal? 
   If the answers to these questions don't 
jibe, I need to find a better way to spend my time 
and money. Joyce Meyer said, "If selfishness is 
the key to being miserable, then selflessness 
must be the key to being happy!" There's nothing 
wrong with dreaming and having goals. The problem 
lies in thinking possessions or excitement will 
fulfill my needs. 
   I still dream, but now my eyes are open. 
My "dream come true" is Jesus. What more could 
I want? by Heidi Gaul 
   Faith Step: Create a new type of bucket 
list. Number it and write at the top, "To Give 
Jesus Glory I'll ... " Think of ways to honor Him. 
Develop a taste for these lasting treasures. Dream 
big! [Mornings With Jesus 2020 Devotional by 
Guideposts and Zondervan]
