There is indication in Scripture that we can store up treasure in heaven. I'm not exactly sure how those treasures will be manifested or distributed, but I do see that there will be those people that we had an impact on in this life, and I believe that will be the greatest reward, that is, being with those people we had an impact on for eternity.
19 "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. Matthew 6:19-20
[Moses] [chose] to suffer affliction with the people of God [rather] than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, 26 esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt; for he looked to the reward. Hebrews 11:25-26
… many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to everlasting life, Some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 Those who are wise shall shine Like the brightness of the firmament, And those who turn many to righteousness Like the stars forever and ever. Daniel 12:2-3
[Paul writing to the church in Thessalonica] ...we wanted to come to you—even I, Paul, time and again—but Satan hindered us. 19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Is it not even you in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming? 20 For you are our glory and joy. 1 Thessalonians 2:18-20
What greater treasure in heaven than those we had an impact on for eternity?
