Treasure…

Have you ever considered how great a treasure you are…

: “something of great worth or value” Merriam-Webster….

 Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my treasured possession among all peoples, for all the earth is mine; and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words that you shall speak to the people of Israel.”

Exod.19.5

 “For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession, out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth. It was not because you were more in number than any other people that the Lord set his love on you and chose you, for you were the fewest of all peoples, but it is because the Lord loves you and is keeping the oath that he swore to your fathers, that the Lord has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations,

Deut.7.6-9

 The Lord is exalted, for he dwells on high;he will fill Zion with justice and righteousness, and he will be the stability of your times,abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge;the fear of the Lord is Zion's treasure.

 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Matt.6.21

If we are treasured by God, his heart is with us…

 For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.

2Cor.4.6-7

  For I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you and for those at Laodicea and for all who have not seen me face to face, that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of God's mystery, which is Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

Col.2.1-3

“We are God’s Treasure

God treasures us and cares for us more than we can imagine. This beautiful and humbling idea emphasizes just how much God loves and values us as individuals, regardless of where we come from, what we’ve accomplished or our social status.

This also reminds us that every person is created in God’s image, is deserving of respect, love, and dignity.

Additionally, recognizing ourselves as God’s Treasure encourages us to treat one another with kindness, understanding, and compassion. It inspires us all to deepen our relationship with God, and we should strive for a life that reflects His love and grace.

Thankfully, we already are His Treasure, and all we need do is to hold onto and bask in the love that He has for us.
