Jesus gives one of the most profound statements in the Bible when He says, “Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be” (Matthew 6:21). The phrase “desires of your heart” is a rich concept in the original language. The heart is more than just your feelings or desires. It’s the innermost thing that drives all of our thinking, deciding, and acting. The heart is so powerful and complex, many times even we don’t understand why we do what we do. The heart is the thing inside us that either turns toward God and grows or turns away from God and does not grow. Jesus says, if you want to locate your heart, follow your treasure.
