A rich man invested a fortune in collecting art treasures from all around the world. One day, he read about a valuable art piece that he felt he must have, so he sent out his agent to find it and buy it. After months of searching, the agent reported that he had finally found the treasure. To rich man’s surprise, the masterpiece was stored in none other than his own warehouse.
Is this not also true of us? Are we still searching for treasures that we already possess, clamouring for yet another so-called ‘blessing’ when right underneath our noses are blessings that God has already given?

Some of us, in our pursuit of our own achievements, have missed the blessings God has given us in our homes and relationships. Many of us take for granted the greatest treasure anyone can have, that is our relationship with God and all that it brings. Through getting to know Him, God has given us everything we need for life and for godliness.
‘Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love.’ Ephesians 1:3-4.
