DISCOVER YOUR HEAVENLY TREASURE
The Jewel of DiscoveryOpening devotion in "Where Your Heart Meets God's available on Amazon
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." (Matthew 6:21, NKJV)."
Treasure hunters hack through jungles, climb mountains and dive into oceans to uncover vast fortunes. Priceless works of art and valuable antiques have been discovered at yard sales, thrift stores and in dusty attics. But sometimes, treasure is found where we least expect, even when we are not looking for it.I never imagined this could happen to me, especially on that ordinary winter afternoon in the foothills of Maryland's mountains, where our cozy home was tucked away. Like thousands of days before, I'd just prepared supper for our family of five, then sat at the kitchen table while I waited for my husband to return from work. Taking a moment to watch peaceful snow falling outside our picture window, I breathed-in the aroma of food simmering on the stove and listened to my children playing in another room.Soon, I caught a welcome glimpse of Dan's car pulling into the driveway. Our front door opened and closed. After Dan stomped the snow from his shoes, his footsteps approached.Entering the kitchen, he brushed my cheek with a kiss on which snowflakes lingered. He placed an old, clothbound book on the table."I stopped at a rummage sale and picked this up," he said. "It's the great Christian classic, Pilgrim's Progress written by John Bunyan, a preacher in 17th century England. The book is an allegory, which follows the central character, Christian's, journey through this life to the next. I thought you might want to read it."Ever the bargain lover, Dan stood tall and smiled. "I bought this copy for only ten-cents."After Dan went to greet the children, I opened the book and flipped through its yellowed pages. They gave off a musty smell, as if this classic work had been stored in an attic and forgotten for decades. Back then, I never imagined that I had just opened a door to an everlasting treasure of the heart. Nor could I have imagined that God has such a treasure prepared for me, or that every person has the same, if we will but believe.This can be compared to a treasure chest overflowing with gold coins, rubies, diamonds, emeralds and so much more. The hinges squeal as we crack open the lid and peek inside.Custom-made to each heart and individual calling, the jewels offer glimpses of realities that this world's trials and even the grave can never take away. The following pages offer steps in a thrilling journey that spans eternity. Will you come along to discover the wonders God has for you?It all begins with a prayer, "Lord, open my eyes."
Let us extend our hearts and reach for the first jewel.
PEARL TO PONDER: What does "a treasure of the heart" mean to you?
LOVE NUGGET: God gives treasures to those He treasures. "You will be my treasured possession." (Exodus 19:5, NIV)Read more devotions in Where Your Heart Meets God's, by award-winning journalist and novelist, Flora Reigada.

I Thoroughly Enjoyed It, 5-Star review by L. Paul
The book title to me meant the book would be somewhat of a thriller, but its a mystery intertwined with a love story that touches upon family conflict, faith, and forgiveness in an eloquent way. It starts with a pulse-pounding chapter as the main character encounters danger while out in the woods and in her rush to get away from it falls, finding an old locket that's been hidden among stones - for likely a generation or two. The locket contains clues to star crossed lovers from long ago, people Elizabeth is determined to find. After that opening, the book slowly evolves into a gentle, intricate read as Elizabeth puts past hurt behind her and takes a chance on love and reconciliation. It wasn't quite what I expected but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
