I’ve heard it said before that you are defined by the people and things most important to you; that who you are is measured by what you value. While I do think that is a little to simple sometimes, there also is a lot of truth to it. Take a minute to think of some of the most important things in your life. How much of your time and energy is spent towards that? And is it worth that much time and energy. As much fun as Fortnite may be, is it more important than your prayer life? Hopefully you’d say no, but where does your time and energy go?

In today’s Gospel Jesus talks about storing up treasures in heaven instead of on earth, where they will eventually leave us. Where we spend our time shows what treasure most. Now we must ask ourselves if those thing belong in heaven or are we wasting our treasure on fleeting things. Don’t waste your treasure anymore! Enjoy the good and pure things of this world, but make sure that you truly invest your treasure in what lasts forever.

Where do I store up "treasure"?

Do I value the treasures of this world over the treasures of Heaven?

​Where do I spend most of my time?

"My treasure is in Heaven."

"I love you Lord."

​"I trust your goodness."

Take a few minutes and take stock of where your "treasure" is. Do you value the things of the earth or the treasures of Heaven?
