The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.
Matthew 13.44
I was meditating on a message of Bishop Macedo and he was talking about this passage. He explained that this hidden treasure is not gold or silver. It is something that is hidden inside of you and I. This hidden treasure is our faith. Meanwhile, a person does not discover and use the faith that lies within them, this treasure remains hidden. Why is it that we hear about people in the church that conquered great things? Is it because they got lucky? Because they are more priveleged or more educated? No, it is because they used this treasure; they used their faith.
When a person uses their faith, they take possession of these riches. How many times have we found ourselves asking, "Why my God? Why is this happening to me? "Why is this happening to my family?" The problem is not God or that He is not listening to us. The problem is that we have not been using the treasure that God has given each of us to conquer and overcome any situation.
How much longer will you let that situation humiliate you? How much longer will you be able to live in that situation? It's time for you to use this treasure called faith. It's time to face the biggest barrier that has stopped you from overcoming your situation: yourself.
Tie up your fears, anxiety, laziness, and use this faith that lies within you. Your life will be the result of your faith.
