“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”Matthew 6:21 –
Lucy was incredibly focused and ambitious in her corporate job, always chasing the next promotion. One day, her mother fell ill, forcing Lucy to take time off. That week, surrounded by family, warmth, and quiet prayer, Lucy felt more fulfilled than she had in years. Her real treasure wasn’t titles or achievements, but love, time, and faith.
We are challenged by Jesus to examine what we treasure. In a world that constantly pushes us to chase wealth, status, and image, it’s easy to lose sight of what truly matters. We often spend our lives accumulating things that rust, decay, or can be stolen, only to feel empty. Just as Lucy discovered her true fulfillment lay beyond corporate ambitions, we too are called to look past fleeting worldly achievements. Faith, love, integrity, and eternal life with God are treasures no one can steal or diminish. God doesn’t just want your Sundays—He wants your heart. Let your priorities reflect your faith. Treasure the eternal.
