As we continue our series, looking at the heart behind spending time alone with God.

Today we're going to look at the daily opportunity to store the treasure of our hearts in heaven.

May God guide us into a passion for investing our lives in His kingdom, that we would have the most joy and peace

possible here on earth as well as in heaven. Welcome to the first of teen podcast. Our scripture for today comes from Matthew 6, 19 through 21.

God's Word says, do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy,

and where thieves break in and steal.

But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in and steal, For where your treasure is, there your heart will be

also. In our scripture reading for today, Jesus teaches an important principle we need to know

in order to give God the entirety of our hearts. To read the last verse again in verse 21 Jesus says,

where your treasure is there your heart will be also. You are the child of a loving God

who is desperately jealous for the entirety of your heart. Matthew 6 19 through 21 illustrates a truth that spans beyond this world and into the fullness

of eternity.

You and I have an opportunity in this life, either to give our hearts to God and receive an

eternal reward, or to give our hearts to the world which will only lead to destruction.

We can either surrender all that we are and have to the perfect, pleasing plans of our Heavenly Father,

or seek fulfillment, pleasure, status, and wealth, and that which belongs to the world alone.

The absolute best way we can ensure our lives are fully surrendered and available to the world alone. The absolute best way we can ensure our lives are fully surrendered

and available to the Father

is to spend the first moments of our day alone with Him.

If we're going to make the most of this life,

we must set aside time to assess our thoughts, actions, and emotions.

We must make time to take an honest look at our lives
