A treasure...to seek... and to give

We could each stand here right now and say that every person has a story.  And not all those stories are the same... there might be some similarities...or there might be no similarities whatsoever.  God knew from the dawn of creation what your story would be, and he knew, and still knows what the rest of your story will be.  It is a great adventure He has fearfully and wonderfully made for you...just the way he made you.

For the next person to come along your path, they don't have the same story as you, for you were made specifically diferent from that person so you would be unique and special by God and for His glory.  But for this person...think of the wonderful blessings they will get from hearing your "story"... it gives them a light to shine on how Mighty and Awesome God really is...seeing how He worked in Your life...and then turn the tables... think about the opportunity that they may share with you...to share the Awesomeness of God to you, so that you may see even more clearly the Reality of the Greatness of God.... Its not just a story... it is a treasure....

A treasure chest...full of jewels for you to reveal and share and admire how it was made and came about.  Running with this analogy:  when you want to show the beauty of what God is doing, you don't want to pour out all the jewels..for they will be overwhelmed.  Yet place one by one on the table before them...let them examine it, and appriciate it..and then share more... like seeking and finding a treasure...little bits at a time.. and recieving small beauties one piece at a time.

I have sat with friends who have shared their treasures with me piece by piece...and I feel like I leave the conversation rich with blessings...and more opportunities to go before my Lord and praise Him and be in awe of Him.

What treasures have you received?  What have you shared?  What can you share?  What can you praise God for, from a story you heard from a friend?  Think about these things...and be a treasure hunter, and a treasure giver.  Be a treasure... to seek ...and to give
