The Treasure Chest of Heaven...

     A few years back, I was sitting on the back deck of my family's mountain cabin. Mostly talking to myself and the stars, but my dad, sister, and mama happened to be sitting outside with me when God gave me a mental metaphor of heaven. So, as I looked up at the stars I said, " Dad, heaven is really like one big treasure chest isn't it." He asked me to clarify. So i explained what I was thinking, while gazing up at a little piece of my God. God only shows us a little bit of what heaven will be like at a time right? So I thought of how when you look through the key hole of a treasure chest you only will see a small piece of whatever treasure lays inside. You have no idea exactly what treasure is inside the chest until you find the right key and open it. The key hole isn't going to get any bigger because you want it to, no amount of will power of yours will widen your view of the treasure. God can give you a bigger piece to see, and when He does that you cling closer to Him for giving you such amazing hope. Such an amazing place to look forward to, an amazing new place to call home.
