Treasures!



Treasure Hidden in the Heart! 


Take an inventory of your treasures or jewels that lye hidden in your heart!  Is it a kind word? A precious moment that has turned to memory?  Spending time with family or a beloved friend?  How about just pure joy!  We have those moments every day, they are treasures within our heart!  How about when you share your knowledge with others?  Or they share their wisdom with you?  Helping those in need.  It is more blessed to give, then to receive.  What about the things we see every day?  Beautiful birds singing, or a stunning landscape, or a sunset that literally takes your breath away!  All of these things are treasures or jewels hidden in your heart.  I challenge you to take an inventory of all your treasure!  Put it out on the table, name them one by one....it will surprise you of what God has done.  Life is moment by moment!  

How can we compare the Kingdom of  Heaven? 

It starts out small, one treasure at a time (hidden in our heart) - like a mustard seed, one of the smallest seeds on earth.  When you plant it, it is oh so tiny!  But when you see it grow, it grows huge and the branches create shade and the birds lodge under the shadow of it.  What I am trying to say is this, throw out those things that are not treasure, such as anger, bitterness, strife, grief, sadness, jealousy, and replace it with moments of joy, moments of great memories, moments of kindness, moments of love, those things that sparkle like jewels, your treasures! I think we can have a little bit of Heaven hidden in our heart right here on earth!

Philippians 4: 8

Day 3 - Revealing the Heart!

Day 3 - Revealing the Heart  Can we let truth speak louder than our feelings?  The longer we speak, read and live truth, our feelings will need to agree!  While reading my devotional today in (Ephesians 3:12) it talks about having courage and confidence in Christ.  The word used in the text was unreserved.   I wanted to look up the definition.  And as I read it, it created this boldness in my heart while I read the words out loud. You may want to try doing this yourself.   It started with unconditional, unqualified (no qualification required) without reservation, unlimited, categorical, unequivocal, unambiguous, absolute, complete, thorough, wholehearted, full, total and undivided.  This is God's love, his love is complete and unlimited.  There is only one way to interpret it, clear and concise.  It goes on to say in ( Ephesians 3:17) by faith we are rooted and grounded in Christ's love!  We often distance ourselves from the very source we need because of feelings

Day 2 - JOY

Day 2 You might think there is a magic formula in obtaining "Joy".  Relationship and resolution to have a closer relationship with the one who provides joy, it is a simple formula, but few take it.  Psalm 33:22 "Let your loving kindness, O Lord, be upon us, according, as we have hope in You."   As we claim every promise that God has given us as our own, it deposits one more gem of joy in our heart.  As we take this journey of joy together, be patient as He shows us victory in every circumstance, no matter how it looks to us on the outside of our heart.  He can give us peace from within. Keep your focus on the beauty of His creative and magnificent hand.  And before long, you will feel Him holding your hand.  "We wait for the Lord.  he is our help and our shield.  In him our hearts find joy.  In his holy name we trust."   Psalm 33:20-21 The heart of gratitude!  1.) Thank you for sharing the Garden 2.)  Another beautiful day
