"Store up your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and robbers cannot break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be."
Properties, power or popularity - these treasures can be gone in a flash. Calamities, thieves and rivals can wipe them out, and along with them our heart. But neither are we to do good works simply to earn credits for deposit in a spiritual bank. That would save us our own savior, not Jesus. It is less a matter of doing and more of becoming.
It is about becoming grafted to the mindset and heartbeat of Jesus as shown in His Gospel. Then what we become is what we will do. Let us invest more time and effort in learning and loving Jesus - in the bible study, prayer meetings and Holy Mass. Love for Jesus overflows into love for neighbor and enemy. This investment starts paying off on earth and perpetually in heaven.
