Treasure

Lk 12:33 Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will not be exhausted, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys.
Lk 12:34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

The above is a portion of scripture taken from the Gospel according to Luke.

1. Sell your possessions and give to the poor? Sometimes(many times) I find what the Bible tells us to do so challenging, no doubt it is not easy to follow Christ.
2. We buy and accumulate, gathering possessions for ourselves, then give to the poor a little so we feel might better by doing some good or be seen doing so.
3. We certainly provide ourselves with purses and constantly try to make sure that they do not wear out so we always have enough to spend. Take note that it is about having enough to spend first before having enough to spare.
4. Treasure in heaven that will not be exhausted? Sorry, we cannot see heaven and are thus unable to visualise such treasure. So no point working towards attaining it, rite?

The verse here that really catches my attention is the second one: For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
What do you cherish? What are the dreams that you dream of? Who are the people you love?
But what if you do not have a treasure? You're hopeless of almost everything. Nothing motivates you, nothing drives you. You do not want anything in particular, you're living without vision. Where can your heart be then?

If you have no treasure, your heart will have nowhere to go!

I just wonder...
