The desire of the heart

(Favell Lee Mortimer, "Family Devotions")

"Wherever your treasure is, there your heart
 and thoughts will also be." Matthew 6:21

By nature, the desire of the heart is only for . . .
  health,
  riches,
  pleasures,
  worldly honor, or
  domestic comforts.

If we are more anxious to possess an earthly
portion than a heavenly inheritance, we are
not God's people.

 and thoughts will also be." Matthew 6:21
