A Tresure

A Treasure.

What would happen if you held in your hands the treasure that could change someone’s life forever? What if the very thing you possessed was the exact thing that someone else needed for their survival?  Maybe it’s medicine, or maybe it’s as simple as a smile.  We are all standing in the dry and barren land surrounded by people that DESPERATELY need to be shown the treasure that you are holding.  Each person crying out, “Does anybody hear me, can anybody see me?”  Very rarely will you hear someone saying “I just need Jesus give me Jesus.”  But it will sound more like this “I am hurting and don’t know how to stop the pain.”  “I am confused and don’t know where to turn.” “It’s so dark and it feels like things are never going to change.”  And some people have lost their voices altogether and all you see is tears or worse yet complete emptiness.  You know the kind….where you look into their eyes and absolute nothingness stares back at you.  STOP.  Hold out your hands to the dry and weary land.  Within you is the hope for a dark and dying world.  Be Jesus to the world.  Not through slamming bible verses down their throats but simply by giving them what they are searching for.  Most of us don’t even know the value of the treasure we hold.  When you work in a diamond mine ALL day long, diamonds become second nature.  But when you have never seen a diamond before in your life, all of a sudden it becomes the most amazing treasure in the world. So now let me ask you again.  What if the very treasure you possessed could change someone’s life forever?
