Greed is insatiable.
Making provisions to store more is not the ticket to heaven.
Store up your wealth in what matters to God.
Thus will it be for the one
who stores up treasure for himself
but is not rich in what matters to God.

Love and compassion is
what we need more of in our heart.
The treasures which hold value to God
cannot be stored in barns.
There is no room for greed when your heart
is already completely filled up with love.
