Matthew 6:20

Matthew 6:20

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

Heavenly treasure — the fruit of a life lived for God — is permanent, safe, and infinitely more valuable than anything on earth.

Memory phrase: Store treasure in heaven.

Talk about it: What kinds of things are 'heavenly treasure'? How do we store them up?

Prayer: God, help me invest in things that last forever — in people, in Your kingdom, in love.
