Luke 12:34

34 For where your wealth is, there your heart will be also.

Luke 12:34 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 12:34

For where your treasure is
Whether in heaven, or in earth, there will your heart be also: the heart is always set upon the treasure, and as is a man's treasure, such is his heart, that is, set upon it; if his treasure is only here, and he has not the true riches, his heart is only earthly and carnal; but if his treasure is heavenly, his heart and conversation will be in heaven; (See Gill on Matthew 6:21).

Luke 12:34 In-Context

32 Have no fear, little flock, for your Father has resolved to give you the Kingdom!
33 Sell what you own and do tzedakah -- make for yourselves purses that don't wear out, riches in heaven that never fail, where no burglar comes near, where no moth destroys.
34 For where your wealth is, there your heart will be also.
35 "Be dressed for action and have your lamps lit,
36 like people waiting for their master's return after a wedding feast; so that when he comes and knocks, they will open the door for him without delay.
