Matthew 6:19-21 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal; (20) But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: (21) For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

From the moment I met my wife I was smitten to the core. She is the cutest sweetest person I have ever known and I could not imagine life without her. When we were dating she was always on my mind and in my heart. When I was at work, my heart was with Carol. When I was playing golf, my heart was with Carol. When I was with my family, my heart was with Carol. It wasn’t long before I knew that my future was with Carol. What had consumed my heart, became my future. It seems like when I’ve heard most people speak on this portion of scripture it’s in the context of discussing finances but I believe the attention should be on the heart. What is it that’s consuming your heart today? What is it that really excites you and motivates you? What has a hold of your heart? For where treasure is, there will your heart be also. Let’s turn our attention to the things of God and allow our heart to fall in love with Him. What’s in our heart today will determine our future. May our hearts be smitten with God is my prayer.

Keeping It Real!
