HIDDEN TREASURES

I hold on to it so tightly, very firmly. My deepest desire is  for it to be right in my arms and never let it go. Never. To hold a firm grip on it and make it grow right before my eyes. It just keeps burning so fiercely, deep down within me. Unusual fervour, warmth ,excitement ,fulfillment. All keeps flooding my heart every single time I held on to it. I knew this was it! I was so sure.  I searched through and through looking for that which has been specially reserved for me; the ones that only I had a special twist for. And now, I  keep hearing a lot of voices; I keep hearing them again and again. They have always been there, would continue to be there, whether I liked it or not. Voices trying hard to steal this priceless treasure. They gave me money and cars and houses , thinking that would fill the void inside of me. I wouldn’t upbraid them.  At least, for a time , I also thought that would fill the vacuum. It never did. They do not understand. They cannot see what I see, they cannot feel exactly what I feel. Voices that are against what I strongly hold on to; the very thing I was made for. One would say,“ You can’t do it, you can never hold on to it!”, another would say “ What would these fetch you, how much longer do you want to nurture it?”. Another voice would also say, “ Just forget it! It just wouldn’t work, get something better to do,.”. It pains my heart that they cannot conceive that this is the better, the best one! Like a war that has just begun. I gather my weapons to protect me from their fiery darts. Swords, shields, spears. Helmets too. To protect my true identity, to make sure I do not loose it. Nay, I can’t let them take it away. Their voices grow louder, louder, louder. It feels like I’m loosing my mind. All they want is to replace my identity with another; to give me a definition of who they think I should be or what I should do be doing. Sometimes, it looks like they are about to overpower me but a gentle little voice; the only voice that has always kept me going, keeps whispering to me “Nurture this treasure, sharpen it and let it shine so bright!” The only voice whose opinion matters the most in my life, even amidst the noise. The only one who understands my worth and what I was created to do.
 Some other persons have at least two or three other voices who would support them, stand by them, fight for them. My story is the exact opposite. No one seems to accredit or believe in the treasure I have found. Now, whether they choose not to believe it or even accept it; there remains a deep longing within me to hold on to this treasure that has been untapped for a long time. And now is the time to build it and let it soar so high.  They do not need to comprehend it now, but eventually they would. I believe in this treasure, I believe in myself.
 Beloved, I believe so, because there is one voice that approves of this treasure and gave it to me to  bless humanity.

I invite you today to accept Jesus Christ into your heart, if you have not. He loves you. And he wants you to radiate beauty and fulfill purpose. All you have to do is believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that God raised him from the dead to give you eternal life. Say this with me. 

"Lord Jesus, I come before you today. I believe and confess that you died for me and rose again to give me eternal life. Thank you for coming into my life. Thank you for forgiving my sin. Thank you for saving me. I am born again. I am saved. I am a child of God in Jesus name, Amen."

If you said this short prayer, congratulations! You are a new creation in Christ Jesus.

Please send me a message. I will be glad to talk and pray with you.😊
