Where your treasure is, there your HEART will be also

Where your treasure is
"Your heart will be wherever your treasure is." (Matthew 6:21)

Wherever I put my time, my money, my effort, my energy, wherever I invest myself - that's what's going to attract me.

For some of you, your heart may be in your home. That's where you're putting your time, your money, and your energy - fixing it up. Or your heart may be in your work. That's where you're putting your time, your money and your energy. Or it may be in a hobby. That's where you're putting your time, your money and your energy. Wherever your treasure is, your heart's going to be there. So every time I give to God, it draws my heart closer to God. The first Christians were famous for their generosity. "The community of believers... shared everything in common." (Acts 4:32) They were a family; they shared it all: 'What's mine is yours, and you can share it with me.' It was voluntary. Christianity says, "What's mine is yours and you can share it with me."

Rick Warren writes ,”When you're a parent, and you have little kids in your home, you enjoy watching them share with each other? When you see that your kids are unselfish, you're very happy with that. And God is the same way. When God looks down on us and He sees us being generous with each other He says, "That's My boy! That's My girl! They're doing what I want them to do." Because God is generous, and He wants us to become like Him.” Be generous and your heart will follow.
