I tried writing one a few years ago, but my heart wasn't in it.
A person has to be committed fully to a cause or idea to give it his best effort. One's heart must be in it.
Scripture tells us that Jesus said, "Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
Different translators come up with different ways of expressing in English the Greek words of the New Testament. Interestingly, every translation I looked at expressed this thought exactly the same way.
Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
It boils down to this: what do you value above all else? What do you treasure most?
Jesus said it is better to lay up treasure in heaven than to spend precious time accumulating stuff that rots.
"Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness," Jesus said. God will provide everything needed for our lives.
The place to seek God's kingdom is in his Word. We're teaching and preaching through the entire Gospel of Matthew this summer at King of Kings Lutheran Church. You can find out more at www.kingofkingscr.org.
You are invited. Sunday at 8:00 and 9:30. Wednesday evening at 6:30.
And bring your heart.
