Store up your treasure
in heaven
only there
will you find the riches
that satisfy
the longings of your heart
the yearning of your soul
the ache in your being
for something more
for something real
for something everlasting
all else is born to pass away
seek only to possess
that which cannot be possessed
that which is freely given
that which cannot be taken away
turn to the Lord in all things
and you will receive
all you ever desired
all you ever longed for
all you ever needed
from He who is all in all
~Robert Van Valkenburgh
Reflection:
What earthly attachments might God be inviting you to release so that your heart can more fully receive what is eternal?
Scripture:
“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.”
— Matthew 6:19–20
