Where your heart is your treasure will be also... or is it the other way around?

Where your heart is your treasure will be also... or is it the other way around?

God, if where my treasure is,
my heart is also,
does that work in reverse, too?

I feel like it just might.

Because right now,
my heart belongs to you,
but I feel like you're giving my heart away.

And its not like your doing a bad thing, God,
don't misunderstand me.
But I truly believe that each member of
this incredible community that I live with has a very distinct piece of
my heart.

And if I believe that to be true,
and I belive the whole treasure/heart reversal concept to be true,
then you made a wise decision tellings me
"not to build up your treasures up here on earth,
where moths and dust destroy and where
thieves break in and steal,"

but to build up the treasure that I can take with me to heaven.

Which, in light of the last few lines,
is achieved by giving my heart away.

So God, I guess what I'm asking for is that
you help me continue to give my heart away,
to build up those heavenly treasures,
and to appreciate and value the treasures where my heart
already lies.
