The Treasured Life - Part 3

"Store your treasures in heaven. . . . Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be." (Matthew 6:20–21, New Living Translation)

1. Check where your heart is by looking at where your money is going.Zacchaeus stood before the Lord and said, "I will give half my wealth to the poor, Lord, and if I have cheated people on their taxes, I will give them back four times as much!" Jesus responded, "Salvation has come to this home today." (Luke 19:8–10, NLT)
2. Change the direction of your heart by giving to things that matter to God."Sell all your belongings and give the money to the poor. . . . and save your riches in heaven. . . . For your heart will always be where your riches are." (Luke 12:33–34, Good News Bible)
3. Remember: God doesn't need your money; He's after your heart!"If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for all the world is mine and everything in it." (Psalm 50:12, NLT)"I don't say this because I want a gift from you. Rather, I want you to receive a reward for your kindness." (Philippians 4:17, NLT)
