THE WORD OF GOD!
This is MY Treasure Chest.
My treasure chest is full of wonderful, beautiful, and bountiful treasures. The unique thing about it is anyone can dip into it at anytime and take out of it what they want. Its resources will never deplete. There is always an abundant supply for anyone who wishes to partake of what my treasure chest has to offer.
When you open up this treasure chest and start digging around and searching within, you will find things like joy for your soul, peace of mind, happiness, and laughter. My treasure chest holds healing for both body and spirit, faith to move mountains, and encouragement. You will also find friendship like no other in my treasure chest, for in here you will find a friend that will stick closer than a brother. In this treasure chest you will find the lover of your soul. Dig deeper in this chest and you will find hope where in other places all you find is despair. My treasure chest also holds the secret to salvation. In here you can find a new song to sing, for the one who made this treasure chest will put music in your soul. It is full of wonderful things , I promise, just taste and see. In my treasure chest you will find rivers of living water that will never run dry.
My treasure chest leads me to shelter in the time of storm. It introduced me to the rock of my salvation. It is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. It guides me in the direction that I should go so that I don't stray from the straight and narrow path of righteousness. When I am frightened I pick it up and hold it close to my heart. Then I open it up and begin to dig through the many treasures within and before long I am comforted by what I find and once again I feel peace sweep over my soul.
Within my treasure chest are many love letters from the lover of my soul. I can open up this chest anytime and read these beautiful letters over and over again. Each time that I do I am renewed with His love in my soul. When I read of all that He created I am in Awe. Then when I read of how He died for my salvation I am humbled to think that One such as He would die for one such as I. One day I am going to be with Him forever in a place that He has gone to prepare for me. For that is one of the promises written within my treasure chest. Oh yes, that is the greatest treasure yet to come.

All that I could think to add is, "a good man out of the tresures of his heart."

What a wonderful blog! Do you know what I love the best about my treasure chest? The fact that it instills in me not a greed to hoard the treasure within, but rather a desire to share as much as possible with others.
Mervi, You are so right and I want the treasures of my heart to always be found within the word of God and His will.
Willman, That is the greatest thing about my treasure chest. It is to be shared with any and everyone that so has a desire to partake of what is inside of it.
Jolene- beautiful post! For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Matthew 6:21
Beautiful, Jolene.
Wonderful post, Jolene. Thank God for the precious treasure that we have in His Word. It's a treasure that never tarnishes with time. Thanks for sharing!
Pastor, the Word of God is the very heartbeat of my soul. Without it I would suffer a spiritual cardiac arrest.
Thank you Sis Allard, It is just how I feel about the Word of God.
So True Sis Connell. The world has treasures laid up in so many places like fancy homes, cars, busniesses, the party life, sports, and so much more. But one day their treasures will tarnish and deplete to nothing. But my treasures will live on for eternity as long as I walk hand in hand with the One True Living God.
Jolene, just letting you know that I changed the address to my blog.
Thanx, have a great day.
Willman, thanx for the update. I was disappointed when I tried to go to your site earlier and could not find you :( But now I know where you are. :D
Beautiful post, Jolene. Love the picture of the treasure chest too! Did you know that you are a treasure to God and to me? Love you! Karen

Von de Leigh, Though I have always loved the Lord since I came to Him 28 years ago but it seems as of late He is more precious to me than ever before. I can't put it into words just how I really feel but my treasues are found in God and in His word. I would not trade any of this for all the world has to offer for it is only temporal. What my God has to offer is for eternity. Oh how I do love Him.
God bless you

I always so inspired when I come here. You have a way of capturing in words what my soul desires. I want my treasure to be His treasure... and we, His children are His treasure. Great post!
