Breakfast with the Word Friday 11th Week Ordinary Time of the Year Shorter
Jesus teaches us not to store up earthly treasures that can decay or be stolen, but to store up treasures in heaven. True treasure refers to both material and spiritual things, but only what is done for God and eternal life has lasting value.
The main question is: Where is our treasure, and what motivates our actions? Jesus reminds us that whatever we value most shapes our hearts. If our focus is on wealth, praise, or personal gain, our hearts will be tied to temporary things. But if our focus is on God, salvation, love, and righteous living, our treasure is stored in heaven.

Many people serve God, help others, or do good works, but Jesus warns that the true intention matters. Our service should not be for recognition, money, or status, but for the salvation of souls and the glory of God.
Ultimately, Jesus calls us to examine our motives and choose eternal value over temporary gain. As He reminds us, where our treasure is, there our heart will be also.
May God help us to store our treasures in heaven and remain faithful in pure intentions. Amen.
