You have heard it said, “One man’s junk is another man’s treasure.” My mother in-law recently passed away and in an effort to minimize her belongings the family has been in a quandary determining what is junk and what is treasure. We differ on our opinions, but the truth is, whatever reminds us of her contagious smile, funny laugh and generous spirit suddenly becomes junk turn into treasure.
The bible tells us that we have this treasure, the gift of eternal life stored up in earthen vessels, the vessels being us. A vessel is fragile, not good for much of anything unless it contains a treasured item. God has stored up in us His spirit allowing us to become one with Him.
What does your vessel look like? Have you allowed your treasure to become dusty, moth eaten or worn out? Are you keeping your treasure alive by spending time with the Lord basking in His presence? Take the time along with me to remind yourself of the precious treasure of eternal life that you have been given and give your treasure a good dusting off.
