Seeking Treasure (Part 1)
Legends passed down from generation to generation told of a treasure so
pure and valuable that it rivaled all others. Fireheart made it her mission
to obtain this treasure. When she was still the tiniest of dragons, tucked
under her mother’s massive wing, she was told stories of the dragons who
made it their life’s quest to seek the treasure. Where they had failed,
Fireheart was determined to succeed.
.
Stretching her sleek saffron wings, Fireheart stepped out of her cave into
the morning sun. Rays of light glinted off her amber and ruby colored
scales. Last night, she had unearthed the long-coveted strand of sea pearls
that dragonkind had been searching for for centuries. As elated as the
discovery had made her, Fireheart now felt that familiar emptiness squeeze
her soul.
.
Mother, it must not be the pearls after all, Fireheart contemplated
aloud. Her Mother had long since passed, but every now and then Fireheart
found it comforting to speak to her as if she was still by her side. It
would help immensely if I knew what I was searching for. She snorted, and
smoke billowed out of her nostrils. In the deep recesses of her memory, she
could hear Mother’s musical laugh, quite dainty for her size. “Fireheart,
you will know you have found the true treasure when you feel it in your
heart.”
.
Salt spray from the sea showered Fireheart’s body as she dipped low,
dragging her claws across the ocean’s surface. She then rose higher until
her wings crested the misty lavender clouds of evening. The day had been
filled with unfruitful searching, and she was growing weary. “I’ll rest,
then continue searching tomorrow.” Savannah Coleman
.
Have you ever gotten something you really wanted, but then felt empty
inside? Every created thing will ultimately leave us feeling empty. Only
the Creator can fill the deep longing in our hearts. In Philippians 3, Paul
says that knowing Jesus far surpasses everything else. Once Jesus revealed
Himself to Paul, everything that Paul used to chase after paled in
comparison to knowing Jesus, the One who loves us and gave His life for us
on the cross and rose from the dead so that we could be with Him. What does
Psalm 63:3 say about God’s love?
.
In Matthew 6:19-21, Jesus tells us to store up treasures in heaven rather
than accumulate earthly possessions and accomplishments. Following Jesus is
the only way to a truly fulfilling and restful life (Matthew 22:36-40;
2 Timothy 4:6-8). What kind of treasure are you seeking?
.
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6:21
(NIV)
Read Verses:
Matthew 6:19-Matthew 6:24; Philippians 3:4-Philippians 3:21
