It's a Process

Luke 12:34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

This is one of those verses that sounds so sweet and nice, but has quite the depth of meaning when you consider it. I, of course, have to stop and think about where my treasure is. What have I put all of my efforts into? This becomes a time of reflection of investment of self.  To me it becomes a matter of 'the chicken or the egg'.  Do we treasure the wrong things because of our heart condition? Or, do we treasure the wrong things, which causes our heart condition. It's both. We are called to treasure Jesus and seek him above all things and in all things, to cast our worries on him.  If we seek Him, our hearts will be drawn to Him. The transformational grace we experience through the Holy Spirit when we are living in Jesus molds our hearts and we begin to treasure Him more. If your treasure is in Jesus, your heart will be transformed. Your life's journey becomes the cycle of being sanctified, seeking Jesus and being transformed, seeking Jesus and being transformed, and so on, little by little becoming who God created you to be.
