Our heart is where we keep our most treasured possessions, our love, dreams, hopes, desires, and faith

It is our internal safe, where we store up all of our treasures

As children all we want is to be loved by our loved ones

We treasure their company and desire their attention

As we get older we get distracted by other things

We start coveting with our senses

We start trusting our senses of seeing, touching, tasting, hearing, and smelling

Soon our heart starts getting filled up with other things

Our most prized possessions are buried in the back

Just like when we were a child our toy box was our safe

But as we possessed more toys, some of our favorites got buried in the bottom

And when we went to retrieve that toy, we would get distracted by other things in our toy box

Soon to have long forgotten about it again

After so many years our treasure chest is so full, that we don’t even know what we treasure the most anymore

That is when we need to completely empty it out and prioritize it

Get rid of a lot things that we held onto for so many years

Emptying out our heart and only putting back the things we choose to

Getting rid of all those distractions that held our attention

So that we can truly see what we truly treasure

We treasure the company of our loved ones and desire their attention

We long for their love
