Jesus is the pearl of great price described in the parables of the Bible--the pearl that led the man who found it to sell all that he had so that he might possess this one pearl.
To see Jesus in all His beauty is to treasure Him. To treasure Him, truly, for who He is, is to give up everything else for the value of having Jesus.
To see Him as the Great Treasure of life is to see our need and leads to repentance.
To see Him as the Pearl of infinite beauty is to know that nothing else compares. And to know, that Jesus is better.
Money is important. Jesus is better.
Health is important. Jesus is better.
Food is a good thing, Jesus is better and so we can fast from time to time.
I've pondering this thing--looking as deeply within my heart as I can.
Faye was my Queen. She was God's greatest gift to me in this life. I treasured her and I miss her deeply.
Can I, in my moments of silence, say, with absolute certainty, that Jesus is better? That is a hard question--brutally hard but I believe I have to search my heart for the answer.
I think, as much as I miss Faye, I pass the test.
Pressing on to my high call.
