Treasures In Heaven

Matthew 6:19-21 19 "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. What you have in your hands is a collection of topics that each represents a place in God's heart. Some of them are negative, enemies of Christ that we must rid ourselves of. But most of them are truly treasures in Heaven. This book is a biblical look at each of these values; what they are, where we get them from, and how we get more of each good thing we talk about -or how we win free of the negatives that hold us back in our relationships with God. It is from God that we receive these wonderful treasures. He created them and He embodies them. We, however, don't. Yet God gives us those things. And if we are to obtain more of each virtue we must share with others what the Holy Spirit has shared with us. And through trials and temptations, these virtues are worked, like muscles, so they may grow like interest in a bank account in heaven. This is how we store up for ourselves greater treasures in Heaven. Most of what makes up this book is Bible verses that refer to each subject we talk about. May the journey through them enlighten your heart to the wonderful miracle of Jesus Christ and of the Holy Spirit, and of God the Father, who created such enriching gifts for us who believe.
