Matthew 6:21 for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Rust = bro’-sis in Greek which means food, food in English not rust.
Matthew 6:19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures {thay-sow-ros’} on earth, where moth {sace} and rust {bro’-sis} = food, what you comsume
destroy {af-an-id’-zo}, and where thieves {klep’-tace} break in and steal.What treasures? to give mercy.
Luke 12:33 “Sell your possessions and give to mercy {el-eh-ay-mos-oo’-nay} ; make yourselves money belts which do not wear out, an unfailing treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near nor moth destroys.
Mercy is a treasure, in a money belt. Something close to you hidden away from the public eye.
