“Treasures In Heaven”
©2018 James Dacey, Jr. OFS
My Friends,
Today’s Gospel: Matthew 6:19-23 (Treasures In Heaven)
“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. "The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light; but if your eye is not sound, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!”
Reflection:
Do you store up treasure in Heaven, where those treasures for eternally last? Think about this for a moment: What in this world can you keep in place that will never rust, never be stolen and will never lose its value? I guess that was a rhetorical question, the answer is Nothing!! Nothing on the planet has eternal value, literally nothing. Well, except for our relationships. Spiritually reflecting that is so exciting. So, what this scripture is saying in a roundabout way is this: In order for us to have the freedom and ability to grow spiritually and closer to Jesus, we must not attach ourselves to anything here; because nothing here has the ability to continue to Heaven with us.
Now how realistic is it to attain Heavenly Treasures? And then how do you enjoy these treasures after you have died? Those thoughts confuse many worldly people, and they never seem to understand the Spiritual life. I’ll help you out with ways I store MY TREASURES in Heaven... Yes MINE... LOL. I will reveal to you my account information. Please be careful with this information, use it and share it if you wish. What do I store in Heaven, and yet still have here on earth to enjoy?
My Eternal Treasures in My Heavenly Account:
My Account# all-things-jesus-mary-rosary=eternity
(here is the line by line list of my wealth)
~My Family and Friends (I am truly blessed)
~My Love for the Trinity (Father, Son &
Holy Spirit)
~My Love for our Blessed Mother and the Rosary.
~Going To Mass (as often as I possibly can)
~Adoration (at minimal, once a month)
~My Love for our Blessed Mother and the Rosary.
~Going To Mass (as often as I possibly can)
~Adoration (at minimal, once a month)
~Confession (at minimal, once a month)
~My Daily Prayer Life (my daily conversation
w/God)
~My Bible Study (each day spent in God’s Word)
(This world has no power whatsoever to take any of these things from me, and in the end, even death, cannot take them away from, rather death only compliments these incredible treasures.) To me there is no treasure on earth that is even a mere fraction to the Treasures in Heaven.

Pondering these thoughts today: How do you see your life? Where are you storing your treasures? Do you
know “Spiritual Wealth” will lead us to eternal freedom while “Material
Wealth” is corrupt, misleading and will steal our eternal life away? What
is your reality? Our sight is easily blinded and blurred by immoral stupidity
and a spirit that is blind. Other ways our vision gets distorted is most
certainly by prejudice, pride and selfishness, and an ego that needs daily
attention.
If we
have wealth, it is from God that we have been blessed; therefore, whatever God
has blessed us with, we should bless others with. I’m not saying become poor, I
respect and enjoy capitalism. I’m just saying, sharing our blessings is the
right thing to do. It could be cash, or your time, or even your excessive stuff
if you are decluttering your life, like I have. There are many ways to bless
others.
My friends I end with this thought: Live your life for God’s truth alone, bury yourself in His Word; unite with His Mother –Praying The Rosary every single day and spend as much time as you can with Jesus in your heart, always!!!
