I will give you hidden treasures, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, who summons you by name. Isaiah 45:3

If I knew the location of the Fountain of Youth, wouldn't you want me to share that with you?  Wouldn't you be upset if I kept that to myself? If I knew what tonight's winning lotto numbers were, wouldn't you want me to share that with you?  Wouldn't you be upset if I kept that information to myself?  If I knew where there was hidden treasure, wouldn't you want me to share that with you?  Wouldn't you be upset if I did not share what I knew? If you answered yes to one or all of these questions and consider them to be "good news" worth sharing, than you can now understand why I am always sharing Jesus and the gospel with you and others. For He is the hidden treasure... He is the good news! By accepting Jesus as your personal savior and Lord, your life is transformed and renewed. Your wrongs are made right, all sins are forgiven, and you are guaranteed eternal life. No more shame, guilt, or fear...no more walking this life alone doing the best you can. Instead you will be led by the Lord God in Heaven, guiding your every step and move. You will be powered by the Holy Spirit and one with God. I don't know about you, but that is worth more to me than any potion or fortune for none of that can be taken with you. No one is buried with their age defying creams and wallets. So next time you wonder why people continue to share with you the gospel of Jesus Christ,  you might remember this and listen with an open heart. Be blessed!
