The most precious treasures are not always under the ground
Everything that glitters is not gold. Sometimes the most precious treasures are not buried deep under the ground but can be found near the surface instead. Look around you – your lifelong companion, your parents or your children are the Lord's special gifts to you. They are your most precious earthly possessions. No, the Lord does not want you to struggle through life alone. That is why He gave you loved ones. They are your helpers, your towers of strength, your biggest supporters, your gold. They are the ones who constantly pray, stand by and carry you.
What are you doing for your loved ones? Do you pray for them regularly too? Do you set an example in your commitment to the Lord? Do you set aside enough time for them? Or are you always tired when you have time to devote to them? Do you constantly have the excuse of work to finish or telephone calls to make? If so you have not really discovered God's special treasures. You are looking for gold in all the wrong places. Look at your loved ones once more. Thank God for them and live close to them always.
Peace
