“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:20-21
Jesus
redirected our desire for material wealth and turned it towards spiritual
wealth. He told us not to seek things
that will collect dust, wear down and fall part, but seek things that will live
forever in heaven. That could only mean
one thing—people. If we pour our efforts
into people and their relationship with God, we will reap astounding benefits
forever.
