Finding and Keeping the Treasure

It happens everywhere. When someone finds something of great value, everything of lesser value fades into the background. When you have found something of great value, nothing else matters.

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it. - Matthew 13:45-46

When you find your place in the heart of God, nothing else really matters. Everything else that you held onto so dearly will fade into the background. Everything that used to matter, is now forgotten.

The importance we place on worldly things and worldly pursuits is a measure of how much we treasure God's presence. What you are closer to, is what will be more important to you.

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. - Matthew 6:21
