I was thinking hard on what should go up on this page which claims to be a treasure online; and I came to the conclusion which is inevitable for the life granted me. What could be more a treasure than the kingdom of God? Which other treasure out-values the rest of the whole world?
One friend and icon I relate much with in this pilgrim progress toward the Kingdom is Jon Foreman of the band ‘Switchfoot.’ Jon is gifted with David’s pen that brings out emotions with exceptional beauty and feeling. These are some of his words to which I relate much:
Growing up from a boy to a man is a difficult task! The reality and harshness of life stares you in the face. It becomes clear as water why the Christian life is compared to carrying a cross. Very often the Christian living in the world is like a rose in the desert. Everything around is against him. But in the midst of all this, when all our sand castles are collapsing, and when we feel like a late-nite plane with nowhere to land, and when we feel stuck watching history repeating, the beauty of the Christian faith emerges in that we can find strength in the assurance that He hears, loves and cares for us.
Truly, His grace is sufficient and more than enough!
Signing off,
