Sublime

Treasure shows who you really are. It strips away every façade you’ve constructed, every story you believe about yourself, and reveals the real you. If you are a miserable, lying, greedy, worthless fuck, treasure will tell you that. If you are a good and decent person, treasure will tell you that, too. And you needn’t find a single coin to know.

Suppose there is a gold treasure buried in the ground.

Three principles in this passage speak to what we have been considering. 1. Everyone seeks some kind of treasure. (This is Christ’s operating assumption.) 2. Your treasure will control your heart. (“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”) 3. What controls your heart will control your behavior. (“No one can serve two masters.”)

The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away.
