Jesus said, “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and decay destroy, and thieves break in and steal. But store up treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor decay destroys, nor thieves break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be. “
Matthew 6:19-21
Jesus tells us that where our treasure is our heart will also be. This is just a principle of life. Whenever you spend your money, it gets a little piece of your heart. You begin to care about it.
This is why we are encouraged to give to our place of worship as an act of worship. If we fail to make an intentional offering to God, we hold back some of our heart from him. Every time we give, we are expressing trust in God and giving him more of our heart and lives.
Take a moment to reread the verse above. Pray for the grace to give to God in such a way that it grows your love and trust in him.
