In Matthew 13, Jesus tells the tale of the hidden treasure, in which he explains that the Kingdom of God is more precious than anything here on earth and that we should desire his kingdom beyond anything else.
There is another kind of treasure I'd like to talk about. The treasure in YOU! God has planted a little bit of himself in every one of us, and as we grow in knowing Christ those precious gems are brought to the surface and polished for all to see their beauty.
This process of polishing is an interesting one though, because it requires grinding off the sharp edges and smoothing the surface of each facet of the stone. God does this in our lives. He chips and grinds away at the rough edges until the sheer brilliance of the stone is revealed.
Don't be afraid if you feel your life going through a grinding process at the moment. Trust God, that in due time, his majesty will be revealed in you.
