Indeed, where our treasure is, our heart is there. Many people invest their money in real estate or stocks; when they lose values, their hearts sink with them. The Bible clearly teaches that the world and everything of the world will eventually pass away. Circumstances will change and our feelings will changes, so if our treasures are solely invested in the world, sooner or later we will be disappointed.
.
So, how do we store up treasure in heaven? You must ask yourself, what's up there in the heaven? Besides God, we'll find God's people in heaven. If we want to store up treasure in heaven, we must invest in God's people while we're on earth. If you invest in God's people while you're on earth, you'll find great harvest up in heaven; you will run into people who tell you: "thank you, my brother and sister, because when I was in need your offerings through the mission organizations helped me!"

May God help us to be willing to offer to God's kingdom, including churches and mission organizations, while we are on earth. This is not only for the needs of God's kingdom, but also for the benefit of brothers and sisters. The Bible says that when we make offering by faith, we will experience how God satisfy our needs through His glorious riches. The more we give out on earth, the more God will give us, and more importantly the rewards in heaven will be great as well. When we invest in God's people, God will call us "faithful and good servants" from heaven! May the Lord help us to work with Him by faith. The Lord says that "where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." If our treasure is in the Lord, our heart will be in the Lord. We will no longer be affected by feelings or circumstances, but rather we'll have satisfaction, peace and joy in the Lord.
