Still

My eyes search for you

Day and night

My ears wait for your whisper

My thoughts ponder you

My breath clings to your presence

Yet still I ask for more

My arms embrace you

My hands work for you

My feet run to you

But still give me more

My heart beats for you

My body aches for your touch

Give me more

You have captured my love

I dream constantly of you

Yes give me more

Everything is nothing

Without you

You

Give me more

Still

treasure

As we walk along the path of life, we meet many merchants trying to sell us just about everything. Buy this. You really need that. We are constantly in search of our next precious treasure. It is a daily passion of ours to find that special something or someone who will put us over the top. Our lives are filled with so many opportunties to buy the next treasure, if we but pay the cost. We seek to have power, prestige, authority, and peace. Jesus is our treasure. Jesus has already paid the price for the treasure. Blessed or happy will be the one who spends his or her life discovering the treasures of Jesus. They are for now and for forever. They are practical yet unbelieveable. They are intimate, yet vast and enduring. We can share them with others yet they are uniquely meant for us. Spend your energy and passion discovering the incredible treasure of Jesus. Let it fill you and consume you to overflowing. Let it be as your heart beat and breath to know this treasure. The greatest treasure in the universe. Let your passion discover the greatest passion of Jesus. Let your love feast upon the love of Jesus that is beyond all dimension or description. This treasure will birth new life in you and in others. Give this treasure away because there will always be much more to discover and give. We cannot outgive God. Jesus is the true treasure. What and who do we spend our time with? What will be the treasures that we offer up to God when we meet Him. Will these treasures last? How will we pass into eternity? For we will look like whatever treasures we so desired. What will our face look like when we behold the face of God?

Remember

Many words will be written about what happened five years ago today. We must still live a life of love, vigilance, and looking to Jesus in the days ahead. Jesus is the one who knows and guards our destiny. So my prayer is that we will both wait and act with courage. Our choices will become increasing difficult, but our rewards for wise actions will become greater. Let us hold fast to what unites us and carefully discern what divides us. May kindness and not quick judgement be our rule of thumb. We must face our enemies without fear, and trust that Almighty God has placed a greatness in us to handle every situation. We are not just living for now but our actions will have eternal consequences.

Yes YOU
