Store up treasures for yourselves in heaven.
Mt.6:20
Jesus continues his Sermon on the Mount, warning of the destruction that follows earthly lust and endorsing the benefits of heavenly treasure.
There is a tension here for me as I live in the world. Worldliness is required to eat, to sleep, to work, even to love. What I'm hearing Jesus say is that while engaged in my world, keep one eye firmly fixed on heaven. That keeps it all in perspective.
Saint Paul, please pray for me.
