Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.  Matt. 13:44-52

I own so many things. I attach my efforts, my feelings, my memories, my worth. My connection to Christ Jesus is the only real and lasting treasure.

Dear Jesus,

Renew my focus on your promise to love and forgive me. Strip away the distractions that steal my attention. Encourage my sharing of your faithfulness.
