He Reveals the Treasure

Today on my walk, I rounded the corner and exclaimed, "Wow! How did I miss this before?"

I was walking north facing the hills before me and they were ablaze with color.
I did not see this treasure earlier on my walk, although I was walking the same direction.
The difference was the time. Earlier the sun was not high enough to cast its light on those trees.
So without the light I could not see the beauty.

Made me think about life...

When I am looking at my circumstances through the lens of love,
Seeing as Christ sees,
I find the treasure, I can find the beauty.

When I look at certain circumstances with just my eye sight...
Things can appear dark, dreary, not fair, barren...

His Light makes all the difference.
His Light reveals the treasure, the blessing.
His Light makes the drab, the everyday, 
Into good, better, best.
His Light removes the negatives, and replaces them with a treasure.
 
Sometimes the treasure is not as obvious as my "Wow!"
When the light of the sun revealed the beauty of the leaves.

Sometimes I have to ask the Lord to reveal the treasure.

I always find the treasure when I gaze upon Him.
When I rejoice in Him ,
When I believe and trust that He has something for me INSTEAD of this negative...

He has treasures waiting to be discovered.

I don't want to miss them...
