Luke 12:34

34 Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.

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).

34 Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.
35 “Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning,
36 as though you were waiting for your master to return from the wedding feast. Then you will be ready to open the door and let him in the moment he arrives and knocks.
