Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will not be exhausted, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (Luke 12: 32-34)

Where is my heart? Where is my treasure?

Do I seek to possess heaven or do I pursue other supposed sources of value?

What is my purpose? What do I choose?

Without having been asked, my heavenly Father - our heavenly Father - has eudokeo, has gladly chosen, to give us His kingdom.

Give, commit, entrust, grant - it is an active verb in the present tense. Will we accept?
