The Best Treasures.

Back to Divine Breathings!

Alexander being asked where he would lay his treasure, answered very well, "Among my friends;" being confident, that there it would be kept with safety, and returned with interest. Why do you enlarge your barns?

Don't you know where to store your abundance? Make the friends of Christ your treasury; let the hands of the widow, the affections of the poor—be your storehouse; there no thief can steal it, no time can rust it, no change can lose it, and there it will be improved. A temporal gift will be there turned into an eternal reward! No ground is so fruitful—as the bosom of the poor; this brings forth a hundred-fold.

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth—where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.

But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven—where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also!" Matthew 6:19-21
