The Treasure of Pure Joy




            Have you had your Joy Juice today?  Sincere joy in the Lord is a valuable treasure!

            Don’t you love to discover a treasure?  Treasures come in all shapes and forms.  There is the treasure of:

  • Family
  • Friendships
  • Old letters with personal messages
  • Pictures of times gone by
  • Sweet memories
  • Hugs from loved ones
  • Shared laughter with friends
  • Kind words of encouragement

Each of these treasures doesn’t hold monetary value but something much deeper and more valuable.  Money and material possessions pale in comparison to treasures of the heart.

      In Matthew 13:44 Jesus refers to treasure: “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field.  When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.”

            Have you discovered your hidden treasure?  Do you know that God has prepared special treasures just for you?  One of those treasures is the joy you will find when you have clear direction in your life by following Him. The joy jewels from His treasure chest are priceless!

           May we live out  Psalm 16:11 that says, “You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence…”
