JOSHUA TIME 730

A man was exploring caves by the seashore in one of the caves he found a
> Canvas bag with a bunch of hardened clay balls it was like someone had
> rolled clay balls and left them out in the sun to bake.
>
>
> They didn't look like much, but they intrigued the man, so he took the
> Bag out of the cave with him as he strolled along the beach, he would throw
> the clay balls one at a time out into the ocean as far as he could.
>
>
> He thought little about it, until he dropped one of the clay balls and
> It cracked open on a rock. Inside was a beautiful, precious stone!
>
>
> Excited, the man started breaking open the remaining clay balls. Each
> Contained a similar treasure He found thousands of dollars worth of
> Jewels in the 20 or so clay balls he had left. Then it struck him.
>
>
> He had been on the beach a long time. He had thrown maybe 50 or 60 of the
> Clay balls with their hidden treasure into the ocean waves. Instead of
> Thousands of dollars in treasure, he could have taken home tens of
> Thousands, but he had just thrown it away!
>
>
> It's like that with people. We look at someone, maybe even ourselves, and
> We see the external clay vessel. It doesn't look like much from the
outside.
>
> It isn't always beautiful or sparkling, so we discount it.
>
> We see that person as less important than someone more beautiful or stylish
> or well known or wealthy; but we have not taken the time to find the
> treasure hidden inside that person.
>
> There is a treasure in each and every one of us. If we take the time to get
> to know that person, and if we ask God to show us that person the way He
> Sees them, then the clay begins to peel away and the brilliant gem
begins to
> Shine forth.
>
> May we not come to the end of our lives and find out that we have thrown
> away a fortune in friendships because the gems were hidden in bits of clay.
>
>
> May we see the people in our world as God sees them? I am so blessed by the
> gems of friendship I have with each of you. Thank you for looking beyond my
> clay vessel.
>
> Jesus Said; TREAT OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM TREAT YOU.
