We Are God’s Treasure!
“They will be mine,” says the Lord Almighty, “in the day when I make up my treasured possession.”
Malachi 3:17. niv
As we totally yield our lives to the control of God’s Spirit within us, He uses:
the responsibilities and relationships and ridicule, the opportunities and obstacles and obligations, the pressures and pain and problems, the success and sickness and solitude...
He uses all things to work for our ultimate good, which is increasing, progressive, glorious conformity to the image of Jesus Christ. (Rom. 8:28)
We are God’s treasure! When God the Father looked throughout the universe for something to give His only Son in reward for what He had accomplished on earth, the Father handpicked you! You are the Father’s treasure—His priceless gift of love to the Son!
