Our Treasure

If we know what we have, we will seek after it!

Luke 15 - "Seeking the Lost"

 Theme: Living like Jesus did from Bible Study Wednesday October 10, 2012:

I’ll share a thought I had this morning following last evening’s Bible Study “Seeking the LOST”……To begin searching for anything or anyone diligently it/he/she has to mean something to us, something of value, something worthwhile. So I started digging deep, real deep, and the only thing that came up…honestly was my children. Again I probe, trying desperately to find others apart from my children, ding, dong, ding, dong, still nothing, so I asked intensely, whom else would I drop everything for?..........Mighty!, reality hit, I have reached a stage where it seemed nothing matter, everything seems replaceable; All those disappointments, hurt and all others added up and made my heart as hard as rock …..a kind of protective mechanism. "just move on, a dat u a  bawl fah" have became the popular phases used since the day of birth. These are the very phrases I used  in broken relationships, seeing the person only as "dat"….. of little or no value.

This, now I can say really is not to hurt the person so much, as it is to hide pain, the real feelings proving to others that I am  strong, which therefore, after a while becomes the NORM.......one of my popular phrase; “is who him/she think be” with attitude and a kiss teeth expression then proudly move on. My, my is this, who I really am, but I have seen the traits and have acknowledged them and the truth is.......

There is no relationship that I would try desperately to keep, no one person I'll try time after time to get his/her attention, none I would dedicatedly seek out time after time, insults after insults, disappointments after disappointments “no boba” not before now  …… “Living as Jesus did”. Understanding who Christ was/ is, what he represents and what he has done and is doing, then it pains me to think I am otherwise. The scripture said the He was bruised for our transgressions, insulted, spat at, scorned, mocked, laughed at etc….. WHY not I? I was, in my previous life conditioned to, leave it, rest it, some would say, move on or just can’t bother.  What if Christ had done the same thing, cared less gave up or just plainly couldn’t bother? Thank God he didn’t, instead he humbly went to the cross. “Living like Jesus did” ……….

On my way to work this morning I was pleased and in awe at how beautiful the ground looked now then reflected far back in days, when it was used for hands on training, mechanic esp., filled with old cars, truck and bus you name it, there was not a sign of beauty, smiling I thought, that’s it!, in order to stay with someone, through thick or thin, the focus cannot be on the present condition/s, hallelujah! I get excited when I am getting a download WOW!  it is to see what lies ahead; Have a VISION, the vision of his/her life, by this I started laughing out aloud, ding, ding, ding , this is the download, when we seek God we seek him not only for our self but for the ones he gave us to take to Him . Hear the scripture “I have revealed you to the ones you gave me from this world…….. I protected them and kept them safe……--” John 17:6 &12.  (Living as Christ did: …”All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. John 6:37). Before I can start to think which friend to take to Father, I know now I have to seek Him first haha haha… Living like Christ did.  Luke6: ¹² One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God. ¹³ When morning came, he called his disciples to him and chose twelve of them,….”

If we know what we have we will seek after it!!
