TREASURE HUNT

I am on a treasure hunt. I am searching for my precious jewels to add to My treasure chest in heaven! When I see mankind, I see the beautiful people that have been created in My image. I long to bring these beautiful gems into My collection, too.

When you look at a person, try to see past their behavior, for you do not know what they have been through. Just as a jeweler inspects a gem, I see each one as the glorious jewel that has been created to reflect My glory.

You are meant to dig for the buried treasure that is hidden all over the earth. There are many different types of gems to reveal the many facets of My glory, and I desire all of them. Regardless of what one looks like on the outside, do not toss any aside. For I am about to surprise the world with many that the church would easily overlook and pass by. Beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder, and I know what I have hidden inside these beautiful treasures. For I have saved the best for last and they are hidden in the least likely of places!

Deuteronomy 7:6 Amplified Bible (AMP)

For you are a holy people [set apart] to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be a people for His own possession [that is, His very special treasure].

Isaiah 62:3 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

You will be a glorious crown in the Lord’s hand, and a royal diadem in the palm of your God.

Zechariah 9:16 New Century Version (NCV)

On that day the Lord their God will save them as if his people were sheep. They will shine in his land like jewels in a crown.

2 Corinthians 4:6-7 Living Bible (TLB)

6 For God, who said, “Let there be light in the darkness,” has made us understand that it is the brightness of his glory that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ.

7 But this precious treasure—this light and power that now shine within us—is held in a perishable container, that is, in our weak bodies. Everyone can see that the glorious power within must be from God and is not our own.
