Timeless Treasure

A Hidden Life

Colossians 3:3

For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.

The Chinese language has a great symbol showing that we are now the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
The symbol is made from two pictures; a lamb on top, with a person underneath the lamb. The lamb covers the person.

What a beautiful image: the Lamb of God covering the child of God, hidden in Christ. When God looks at you, He doesn’t see you, He sees His Son, the Perfect, Spotless, Blameless Lamb of God.

I pray that you may treasure this image in your heart and always be reminded that when God looks at you, He sees Jesus, in whom He is well pleased.

Timeless Treasure

Malachi 3:6:

I, the Lord do not change.

Let me share a recently read story with you:

When Lloyd Douglas, the author of The Robe and other novels, attended college, he lived in a boarding-house. A retired, wheelchair-bound music professor resided on the first floor.

Each morning Douglas would stick his head in the door of the teacher’s apartment and ask the same question, “Well, what’s the good news?” The old man would pick up his tuning fork, tap it on the wheelchair, and say “That’s middle C! It was middle C yesterday; it will be middle C tomorrow; it will be middle C a thousand years from now. The tenor upstairs may sing flat, the piano may be out of tune, but my friend, that will always be middle C.”

How I love that story. It reminds me of the goodness of God and how He is my ‘middle C.’

That constant, consistent presence in my life. The only One who truly never changes.

Hebrews 13:8: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”

May the truth of His Word refresh your heart today as you continue your journey of faith. He is the God who changes not!

Timeless Treasure. Come To Me.

Timeless Treasure

Come to Me

Matthew 11:28- 30

“Come to me, all you who labour and are heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

What a beautiful invitation! Jesus says “ Come to me”; not to a religion, doctrine, or system, but to Him.

He calls us who labour, and those who are heavily-laden – be that with family, work, relationships, finance or personal burdens.

Jesus invites you to come to Him and He promises rest for our souls. This rest means to refresh, rejuvenate, reinvigorate and revitalise. Jesus knows we need this kind of rest to be effective in what He asks us to do for Him. His rest brings His peace and love to body, soul and spirit.

So come in faith, believing in Him, resting in His presence and know the refreshment of His Holy Spirit on a daily basis. Rest will keep you steadfast and strong – in the storms of life you will know He is your anchor. His invitation to you right now is “ Come to me.”

Accepting His invitation will bring you rest. What a precious timeless treasure.

Blessings,

Susan
