Treasure In Heaven

"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light..." Matthew 6:19-22 ESV

What does it mean to have 'treasure in Heaven'. I have been pondering that for a week or so on and off.

Treasure that can't tarnish.

No moth (or biological agent) can access it to defile it.

It can't be stolen or diminished.

That sense of belonging and ownership fills us with light. We are not looking at God's house saying, 'Wow, It would be nice to live there.' No. We look and say, 'Something there belongs to me and no one can steal it and nothing can destroy it. That is my place.'

Putting things in storage is an active process. A decision is made to forego access to a thing and sent it somewhere. We can send our minutes and hours to Heaven. We can make decisions based on eternal perspective. We can be full of light on the inside.
