17th Week, Ordinary Time, Wednesday, 28-07-10

Jeremiah 15 : 10, 16-21 / Matthew 13 : 44-46    (2023)

There is no doubt that everyday we do a lot of important things.

But while we are busy doing so many important things, we may just want to stop and do take a little time to do some reflecting.

Just what are the things we are doing that are really important?

Does it only have a temporary importance, or does it also have an eternal importance?

We need to remember that how we live our lives here on earth is a preparation of how we are going to live our lives in heaven.

And God has planted the treasures of heaven in our hearts to help us live our live our lives on earth.

Hence the search for this treasure is not from the without as in the material or tangible.

The search is from the within, in the depths of our hearts, where the treasures of God are waiting to be discovered.

When we discover that treasure within, then we will naturally let go of the things that are not important and unnecessary.

We will realize that it is God that is our only need, and it is God that we really want.
