We know what Jesus said about generosity, security, and trust. We just don't want to do it — because doing it costs actual dollars, not just intentions. What we've treasured quietly reveals itself when obedience gets concrete.

Jesus begins with therefore, and He means for us to remember what came before—treasure, vision, masters. Anxiety does not enter the conversation as a mood or temperament. It enters as a consequence. When treasure is misplaced, worry follows. Not because life is fragile, but because we've treasured something too small to hold us.
