Ready to go on a treasure hunt? No, it's not what you think. This treasure is everlasting treasure! Often times when we think of treasure we fix our hopes on certain "things," or that special "person" or even a title or position, or a state of being. Another words, we have a perfect picture in our mind of what it should all look like to be happy and content. This list of "treasures" vary with each individual, yet there are some similarities we all share. I used to believe that once I made a certain amount of money, had a certain business title, etc. got married and kids, homes, cars, etc. that I would be content and happy! Then what happened when I reached those goals and was still not content? Imagine the crisis of life! What a mirage I thought! You spend years on your treasure hunt only to find "it" and then it doesn't satisfy...it's like eating a cheese puff! No substance, artificial, hollow and leaves you more hungry! Friend, why is that? Why is it that so many people who seem to have every "treasure" in the world are the ones we see self-destructing on TV? It's the cruel reality that the treasure they spent so much time hunting for...doesn't fulfill, doesn't satisfy, and leaves us empty inside! That realization can leave many with a sense of hopelessness and reckless abandon! I found myself demoralized and hurt, drinking more and more, to cover that emptiness and pain. Tonight, I hope by sharing my own testimony to maybe serve as a WRONG WAY sign for anyone who is searching for treasure and going about it by heading down that "dead end road!" "Stop and turn around!"Tonight, true treasure is waiting for you! If you search, you will find! In Jeremiah 29:13 our Heavenly Father says: you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you, declares The Lord ! You want treasure? Search with all your heart and you will find! Our Father God in Heaven created in us a deep desire to have fellowship with Him and nothing else can fill that void in our life! He has cleared every obstacle that stood in the way when He sent His Son Jesus Christ to be our redeemer and sacrificial lamb! Tonight, when you ask God to forgive you of your sins and accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior you will have uncovered the greatest, most amazing treasure...peace and eternal life! I would love to send you a Bible and New Believers Guide to help you on the exciting journey of following Christ! Message me your mailing address and we will send it without obligation. Thanks for letting me share, Randy Young
