The problem of our human nature is that we want: The credibility without the consistency; The harvest season without the planting season; The increase without the investment; The success without the obedience; The rewards without the sacrifice; The fruitful without the faithful. Almost 40 years ago, Eugene Peterson wrote: Long Obedience in the Same Direction. That title is the perfect definition of what it means to be faithful to God; long obedience in the same direction. That journey starts with one prayer... a prayer of surrender.

There is a God placed treasure inside of you but we are very fragile containers for that treasure. We have this treasure in jars of clay. To often, we confuse the treasure with the container. Many of us are not pleased with our personal appearance, our intelligence capacity, our talents or gifts, when compared to others. The treasure has been placed INSIDE us. The treasure is not the clay jar…there external part is the fragile part. The treasure is what’s inside the jar of clay. Don’t confuse the container with the treasure. This treasure in you is his calling and vision for your life. He created you and has written a story for you life so that your life brings glory to His name and makes a significant difference in other peoples lives. God has a desire for your life to have a significant impact and he has designed you so that can happen. It’s in you.

The promise of Heaven…if understood biblically…will actually erode our fear of death, comfort our grief, build anticipation and excitement for the life to come…and infuse our present life with worship and wonder.
