God’s Priceless Treasure
Have you ever made, painted, designed or invented something that has given you great joy and a feeling of accomplishment.
Painting, writing, pottery or craft can be very rewarding because although we start with raw materials, we can create something really beautiful even a Masterpiece.
What a sense of accomplishment what joy, it even feels part of us maybe because we have given of ourselves to achieve it.
So we forget about all our mistakes this one object is valuable,
a priceless treasure a thing of beauty.
What happens when someone comes along and calls our treasure worthless and ugly throws dirt all over it even trying to destroy it,
“How do we feel?” the heartache would be too great to describe the anger and pain too real.
Then someone else comes along who understands what we have achieved, who can see the beauty in what we have created,
They can see behind the dirt and blemishes and appreciate its true value they even want to restore it back to its original beauty regardless of the cost.
Our joy would be great we would be so thankful and our treasure would be given a place of honour and be protected.
We are God’s Priceless Treasure He created us and He doesn’t make mistakes, our value to Him is beyond measure.
Think of His pain when He sees us hurt, broken, damaged, needing to be restored.
Jesus understood His Father’s pain, He came to restore us back to our original beauty, the cost was great but His Love was greater.
We can never understand the Father’s pain or can we ever repay what He suffered so we could be restored,
But we thank Him, we thank Him with our whole lives because He gives us His greatest Treasure.

Our young friend teeceecounsel has shared his very insightful thoughts on appreciating the beauty of our World including in others and ourselves and as his example shows, a good start is taking the time to relax and really appreciate the riches we have, that money can’t buy…. http://teeceecounsel.wordpress.com/2012/09/20/life-is-beautiful-share-what-you-think-of-its-beauty/

Amen sister Anne. “We are God’s Priceless Treasure He created us and He doesn’t make mistakes, our value to Him is beyond measure. ” We do need to think of our worth based on God’ idea of what’s precious and beautiful. The world has full of insecurities and superficial, material treasures that people get blinded by what’s real. Time for all to be awake! Thanks and God bless.

Thank you dear brother for all your encouragment and very True as you shared, sadly I have been caught in that material trap but when thinking about it now I see how empty it was. Money can’t buy Love or happiness as you said, people say, but at least we have security but it is shallow and can vanish overnight.
Christian Love from us both – Anne

Thanks Anne for a deeply moving poem with the analogy so deep and meaningful . Yes praise God that He views us in such a loving way I`ll think of that analogy when I view a beautiful scene or painting, I feel this is one of your best poems, in fact its so good I printed it out to share.

Thank you Love, it is very True that hurt people, hurt people and often themselves too, this is why we need to ask Jesus to heal us, He wipes our tears away, even the ones no one sees and turns them into deep inner Joy.
Love you – Anne.
