"Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also" - Matthew 6:21.
In context, this line is not saying "your attitude to wealth reveals where your heart is". That would be a true statement, and a Biblical one too. But it's not what this line is saying.
Here, Jesus was saying that where you put your treasure influences where your heart is directed towards. By investing your resources in the kingdom, you will enable and direct your heart to follow. Giving will improve the state of your heart.
Randy Alcorn explains this further in this article. "I’ve heard people say, “I want more of a heart for missions.” I always respond, “Jesus tells you exactly how to get it. Put your money in missions—and in your church and the poor—and your heart will follow.”"
