“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break in and steal.”

Matthew 6:19 RSV

A bright sparkling diamond is quite beautiful, and a gift of a diamond ring, necklace, or bracelet expresses love to the person receiving the gift. This is especially true when it is given as an expression of love or an engagement to a future bride.

God has given us a treasure that has more beauty than a sparking diamond, namely, His son. Yes, we cannot see or touch the beauty, but by daily reading of His holy Bible we get to know just how much we are loved and cherished; so loved that Christ went to the cross for us, died, and rose again, solely for our life saving benefit. There has never been a more precious gift than this!

Father God, help us to keep focus on the love, forever care, and protection You have for us. Amen.

Reflect: Keep focus on our Savior and not earthly possessions.
