Bro Jeff
No man thinks of himself as being rich until he has all that he wants. Very few people are satisfied with earthly riches. Somebody said that getting riches brings care, keeping them brings trouble, abusing them brings guilt, and losing them brings sorrow. Worldly riches never make anyone truly happy.
Treasures of the heart
It does not take a miracle to tell where a man’s treasure is. In 15 minutes of conversation with most men, you can tell whether their treasures are on earth or in heaven. Talk to a statesman about the country and you will see his eyes light up, you will find he has his heart there. Talk to some businessmen, and tell them where they can make a thousand dollars and see their interest – their hearts are there. Tank to fashionable people, who are living just for fashion, of its affairs, and you will see their eyes kindle – they are interested at once, their haunts are there.
Talk to a politician about politics and you see how suddenly he becomes interested. But talk to a child of God, who is laying up treasures in heaven, about heaven, and about his future, and see if there is any enthusiasm. “Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” Think of the treasures of heaven and then think of the earthly treasures that we have our hearts set on, and that so many of us are living for.
This brings us to few questions about heaven and its riches. Kindly take your time and go through the poll to ascertain our understanding of the scriptures through the following poll.

I feel more like a pilgrim and a stranger on this earth the older I get. I know my true home is heaven. I see God’s creation as a sample of the beauty he will have for us in Heaven beyond anything we can imagine here on earth. Even that will not compare to the beauty of seeing him face to face and being in his presence forever.
Amen. That’s nothing but the truth. God bless you so much.
