Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 13,44-46.
Jesus said to his disciples: “The Kingdom of heaven is like a treasure buried in a field, which a person finds and hides again, and out of joy goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant searching for fine pearls.
When he finds a pearl of great price, he goes and sells all that he has and buys it”.
Life Options
1) Treasure in a Field: Life implies searching. The happiness you are searching for can be found, in part, in this world, but you must be serious in looking for it. You can’t expect it to just fall on your lap. Search for it. Look around for the things that make you happy, give you peace and make you feel good. Hold onto those and share them with others. When you find it, you will have also found God.
2) Full of Joy: Having Jesus and knowing where your happiness is will fill you with joy and passion. Joy is the union of inner peace that comes with finding that which makes us happy. A heart full of peace remains cheerful. Joy and peace are signs that you are on the right track.
3) Negotiator: In life we need to know and understand that not all things are created equal. While we are journeying to our goal, we need to know and understand that some things are worth much more than others. Some things will have to be set aside or looked into deeper while you continue to the goal. Learn how to assign value to the things that take you closer to God.
God never leaves you, and let me tell you that when you get to really know him you won’t ever leave Him.
God bless you and be with you, in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
…and do not forget: Heaven is Our Goal!
