GOD face to face, they shall
see him

sons of GOD and to dwell in
his presence, both now and
future Kingdom

treasure is on earth, his heart
is going to be there, if his
treasure is in heaven, his
heart is going to focus on
heaven
There is the good heart if a
man focus on JESUS CHRIST,
who is the light of the world
then his mind and heart will
be fill of light, singleness of
eye and heart means that a
person sets his attention
upon the LORD JESUS for the
purpose of doing his will.

on the world and its lust.
A healthy heart looks for true
treasures, the treasure in
heaven, which his citizen
