O.K., I read a verse this morning and it struck a nerve. You see I have a certain “image” of myself in my mind. My purpose in life is to Love others. Honestly, that is the deepest desire of my heart. I consider myself a kind, caring, compassionate and very empathetic person. Those are some of my top values. So here’s the verse I read.
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Luke 12:34
I really started pondering the word Treasure. I treasure loving others more than life itself but….here’s the problem, when I examine my life it does not reflect that. When I get real honest with myself, I treasure making sure I’m comfortable, satisfied and fulfilled. My treasure is making sure I am Happy and making sure my family is Happy. So what I realized is that my treasure is ME and my heart is not able to share the abundant LOVE it has for others because my treasure is in the way! I’ve decided today to really take some quiet time with God and listen to where and how I can make some changes in my life so that my treasure and my heart are in alignment.
Where is your treasure? Where is your heart? Are they in alignment with each other? I would love to hear from you!
thank you so much for sharing this…SO TRUE i will continue to reflect. Hey I wanted to ask you too, we have a girl that called us from the clubs outreach and I think she could really benefit from a life coach, can i pass along a number to her to get in touch with you? thanks for all you do
