Where Your Treasure Is

A woman in a television ad said, “The good we do here is the only thing that will be left when we leave this earth.” I have to laugh at the thought of society, or even my family for that matter, remembering my good deeds beyond a couple of generations. Jesus, on the other hand, puts our legacy in heaven, “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matt 6:19-20 NIV).
