Poem
where you lay your treasures down is the place where your heart is found Jesus said similar words in the New Testament to tell mankind of the message that God wanted them to get it's about our priorities those things that mean so much it's about what we treasure that which hold to and clutch it's about anyone being able to discover, deduce and define what are the true values in a person's heart and mind it's not about people but about what people treasure for that is the true indicator by which we are measured can one think with one's heart? does the heart understand? what are the basic principles that determines what makes a man? show me the money, show me your measure show me the money those things that you treasure we live in a society that is consumed and corrupted by greed where wealth is that commodity that everyone strives to achieve many people define themselves by how much wealth they have attained where millionaire and billionaire are the titles placed before their names they say the love of money is the root of all evil which can take a person away from the spirit of the word of God and the message that it conveys people have intrinsic value as we are all children of the most high God for it's not about monetary values but the moral values which we impart people tend to desire things, they can't seem to get enough possessions and when "Black Friday" comes they shop with a maniacal obsession we live in a time where 80% of all the world's wealth is in the hands of less that 20% of the people here on earth we pay professional athletes millions of dollars to play a game but a teacher less than $50,000 now doesn't that seem insane? what is wrong with this picture? what values do we measure? where are our priorities? what is it that we truly treasure? we think we own everything but people fail to see that in all actuality it's all God's property show me the money that which to you God gave show me the money that which man obsessively craves money is the one thing next to life which God speaks most of money is the one possession He asks that we tithe with an unselfish love yet we tend to place money before our love for Father God but it shouldn't have a place that is so prominent in our hearts yes money has a purpose it has a function in society just don't allow it to become your first priority show me the money show me where your treasures lie show me the money show me where your heart resides
