"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house." Matthew 5:14-15

"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it." Matthew 13:45-46

Treasure

"How can a young man keep his
way pure?
By keeping Your word.
I have sought You with all my
heart;
don't let me wander from Your
commands.
I have treasured Your word in my
heart
so that I may not sin against You."
Psalm 119:9-11

This is my prayer for today. That I will keep God's word. That I will seek Him with my entire heart and that I would not wander away from His teachings. Help me Lord to treasure your word in my heart like Mary treasured. (When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about." So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart." Luke 2:15-19 Help me not to sin Lord. Help me to share your love with those I meet Lord.
