What this blog is about:

My journey to making Jesus my Pearl; turning away from the thinking of this world and finding my identity and joy in Christ alone.



Matthew 13:44-46

"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."

"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it."

A poem for those enduring trial

I read the following in an old Christian pamphlet that my sweet, deceased Grandma sent me over 12 years ago! The pamphlet is called "The Value of Trials" By Mrs. Judson A. Elliot. It is unknown to me who the author of the poem included is from. I thought it was such a good reminder for times of trial and wanted to share.

"He's helping me now - this moment,
Though I may not see it or hear,
Perhaps a friend far distant,
Perhaps a stranger near;
Perhaps by a spoken message,
Perhaps by the printed word;
In ways that I know and know not,
I have the help of the Lord.

He's keeping me now - this moment,
However I need it most;
Perhaps by a single angel,
Perhaps by a mighty host;
Perhaps by the chain that frets me,
Or the walls that shut me in;
In ways that I know and know not,
He's helping my crown to win.

He's guiding me now - this moment,
In pathways easy or hard;
Perhaps by a door wide open,
Perhaps by a door fast barred;
Perhaps by a joy with-holden,
Perhaps by a gladness given;
In ways that I know and know not
He's leading me up to Heaven."

Isn't that beautiful?
