Welcome to my blog!

Welcome to my little online home...I have been overwhelmed by God's unconditional love and grace and enjoy writing about what God is teaching me... In 2025 I am writing meditations on Revelations of Divine Love by Julian of Norwich. God used this book to encourage me so much in my life. If you are not interested in this, feel free to read some of my posts from previous years! Blessings to you and have a great day!

A Treasure in the Earth

"There was a treasure in the earth which the Lord loved."

Julian of Norwich (Ch. 51)

In the Parable God showed Julian, there was a treasure in the earth. A  treasure by definition is something rare, precious, valuable and greatly desired. This precious, greatly desired treasure is humanity, who has fallen into the depths of earthly existence with its pain and death, not fulfilling the full potential it was created for. It has become covered in the dirt and mud of sin and delusion and not visibly glorious. Yet the treasure remains beautiful even when covered over with dirt and grime; the treasure remains the treasure and never becomes the dirt. The treasure only waits for Someone to bring it out of the mud and remove the dirt to reveal its original beauty. This is the treasure Christ came to lift up, redeem and restore. He came to wipe humanity free of grime and dirt and death and not only bring it back to its original glory but fill it with even more glory, filled with Christ's own fullness of life and flourishing, and bring it up to heaven to present to the Father in beauty and splendor! We are what greatly pleases the Lord, what He loves and adores, what He considers precious and beyond price, the treasure He would do anything to have back in sweet relationship with Him, safe in eternal life with Him. Christ is the One who has done all the work to bring God's dear treasure home to Him, in glory and honor!

“The kingdom of heaven is like a [very precious] treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid again; then in his joy he goes and sells all he has and buys that field [securing the treasure for himself]."

Matthew 13:44 (AMP)

A Prayer: Thank You for seeing me as a priceless treasure in Your eyes, so that You would do anything to have me with You! 

May the amazing grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the extravagant love of God, and the intimate friendship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you. 2 Co. 13:14
