“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

Today’s thought ... There is joy to be found in the weeds and swamps of life. My prayer for you: God, may You always know that my friends and community are joys in my heart and life and as I am yours then they may also be treated as your friends and be served as would any amazing Host and Papa. Please bless them richly and provide for their needs. As any may have rants or wants please hear them with a humble heart and loving purpose and please help me to do the same. Thanks God for the beautiful treasures you hide in the weeds and swamps of life. #joyintheweeds #matthew13 #spiritpilgrim #pilgrimspirit #yayGod https://www.instagram.com/p/CF2WIushDOi/?igshid=1t0lqak39t45e

Day 101 on the Words of Jesus from the Book of Matthew . “But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; “Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he falls away.” ~Matthew‬ 13:20-21 . By David Guzik . On stony places: As seed falling on the thin soil on top of the stony places quickly springs up and then quickly withers and dies (Matthew 13:5-6), so some respond to the word with immediate enthusiasm yet soon wither away. . This soil represents those who receive the word enthusiastically, but their life is short-lived, because they are not willing to endure tribulation or persecution… because of the word. . Spurgeon made a good point: “I want you clearly to understand that the fault did not lie in the suddenness of their supposed conversion. Many sudden conversions have been among the best that have ever happened.” The problem was not their sudden growth, but their lack of depth. . “Tribulation is a general term for suffering which comes from outside; persecution is deliberately inflicted, and usually implies a religious motive. Falls away is literally ‘is tripped up’; it is not a gradual loss of interest, but a collapse under pressure.” (France) #Matthew13 #ServingJesusChrist #StonyGround #Tribulation https://www.instagram.com/p/B6wEoNnFv6_/?igshid=1g1b76tvswnij

My friend gave me a gift today. It was a Nativity scene set in a small box shaped like an oyster shell and it reminded me of the Parable of the Pearl of Great Price (Matthew 13:45-46) which then got me thinking about things that I consider to be pearls of great price in my life.

But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
