Shining from the inside
Soul Snack 191/10 ... The Gold in Me
There is always treasure within. You may not believe this because there may have been so much poor input to the contrary, but there is always treasure within.
Past failures are not recorded, sin is abandoned and heaven searches you with grace. This is some of what heaven sees and delights in with you:
- a heart that seeks Jesus before it seeks jewels,
- a person that invites and enjoys the precious deposit of His Holy Spirit,
- a willingness to water the implanted seed of faith,
- the gifting of talents,
- the home of grace received and grace given and
- the resting place of forgiveness.
Within each of us is a divinely created gold-mine.
This gold-mine builds us up, strengthens our bodies and shines to all true prospectors.
Many in this world search for a gold buried deep in the earth, covered in dirt and retrieved at great expense. Yet, how better would this world be, if it simply recognised you who contains the true gold, the gold from heaven?
“You are the salt of the earth ... you are the light of the world ... let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." (Matt 5:13-16)
