"Keep thy heart with all diligence;
for out of it are
the issues of life."
Proverbs 4:23
Where's Your Heart?
Jesus said,
"For where
your treasure is,
there will your heart be also."
What we feel
and believe are the truly
precious and
meaningful things in our lives.
If we don't
commit ourselves to what is good and right,
then we are
empty.
Moral
poverty occurs when we place "things"
above
relationships.
Christ sent
His disciples out into the world
without
possessions,
but no one
in history has known more wealth
than those
chosen men who walked with Him.
It is when
we choose to walk with Jesus
that we can
find out what true riches are.
In today's
world, it is easy to get distracted
by so many
things.
Lifestyles
that seem so appealing are presented
in magazines
and on television.
The
so-called "good life"
requires
money, good looks, nice clothes, the right
car,
the perfect
house, and the right mate.
At least
that's what we're suppose to believe.
But it is
only when we can free ourselves from
the pursuit
of such things that we can begin to enjoy
life the way
God intended it.
Money cannot
buy happiness, nor can it bring us life.
Christ
brings us life, and He brings it abundantly!
He is the
real treasure,
and as long
as our hearts remain with Him,
our lives
will truly be rich.
