wealth in heaven

A rich man in God's eyes is the one who evaluates things according to the Lord's values.
God is love.
A rich man is the one who loves, but what do I need to do to grow in love?
Some ideas:
- practice acts of love: visit my parents, sick people, help spouse, help children, etc. All these things go against my own will. My will is not a good parameter to guide my acts of love.
- do not expect human reward for acts of love. I must practice acts of love for God's sake, for God's reward.
- continually ask myself how to be helpful. Do not wait to receive orders.
