Psalm 88:12
Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? And they
righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
The man fell in love with the painting. Its beauty was beyond
words. He would give anything to own the painting; to possess its beauty for
himself. He bought the painting and took it home with him. Immediately, he
began to worry that it might get damaged. He packed the painting in a crate and
locked it in an airtight vault, away from seeking eyes, where no one could
benefit from its loveliness.
We have received a treasure of great value: Jesus Christ.
Should we hold Him in our hearts, never letting Him be seen, or should we
expose Him to the view of all who would look? We are to be the city on the
hill, the light shining in the darkness, the salt of the earth. No one has the
option to call himself a Christian and then keep it selfishly inside. Our faith
is intensely personal, but it is never private. We possess a pearl of great
price. Be proud of it and let the whole world see it.
Prayer: Make my life a picture of Your love, Lord. I want to
be one more example of Your greatness and glory on this earth. Be with me to
guide my steps. Amen.
