Riches in Heaven

"Do not store up riches for yourselves here on earth, where moths and rust destroy, and robbers break in and steal. Instead, store up riches for yourselves in Heaven where moths and rust cannot destroy, and robbers cannot break in and steal. For your heart will always be where your riches are." (Matthew 6:19-23)

It is often hard to let go of materialistic possessions because they never fail to satisfy and please our five senses. Indeed, they sometimes benefit our bodies. But they have problems like collecting dust, rust, insects. They also can destroy us. Listening to heavy metal music too much can damage our ears and overeating can give our bodies many health problems and so on. No one has ever thought of pleasing their souls and relationship with God. I may be exaggerated but it is better to let them go and focus on working for God like spreading the gospel. It is okay to indulge in the pleasures of materialistic possessions in moderate level. For me, I think spending time with God is the best treasure I ever have had on the earth and Heaven.

"Consider the shortness of time, the length of eternity, and reflect how everything here below comes to an end and passes by. Of what use is it to lean upon that which cannot give support." - St Gerard Majella

"God wishes us not to rest upon anything but His infinite Goodness. Do not let us expect anything but from Him, and let us put our trust and confidence in Him alone." - St Charles Borromeo
