Treasure Hunt
Are you ready for the treasure hunt?
That was the message I had been given
for the pastor who did not want me in his church.
He didn’t understand the message
or why I had said it.
He told me I could not hear from God
because of who I loved.
Yet here I was at this place
knowing I was not yet to leave
and ready to learn from a guest speaker
talking about the challenges in the church.
Then he said it.
The biggest challenge is that we are not ready for
the treasure hunt.
We are not ready to look for the treasures
in our own congregation.
We are not ready to see the treasures
in those we deem to be the least of thee.
We just are not ready.
Not only are we not ready,
but we are so afraid of what we might find
that we throw the buried treasure out.
We are just not ready
for the treasure hunt.
Our prejudices keep us from seeing
the treasure in others.
When we open our hearts and mind and soul
we allow ourselves
to look for and find
the treasures
where we least expected them
to be buried.
The question is simple
are you ready for
the treasure hunt.
The treasures are thre in front of you
waiting to be found.
