What's your treasure? What would you sell everything for?
Our first reaction to that question should tell us a lot about ourselves. Our desires are not as they should be, due to the reality of our fallen nature, but the Holy Spirit is at work in each and every one of us, reminding us that we are made for eternity, that being rich towards God is a greater treasure than we can imagine, like finding ourselves in an inexhaustible storehouse of the finest jewels and richest foods. The feast in heaven is beyond what we can imagine, beyond what we can recreate, and yet every time we celebrate something beautiful in this world, be it fine food, beautiful art, or works of nature, we are being reminding of true beauty, of great riches, of the eternity for which we are made.
There is real treasure waiting for us. May we each spend time in prayer seeking out this treasure, and praying for the wisdom to align our lives here on earth with our lives as they will be in heaven.
