PARABLE:  

~18 months ago, we finally got courage to spend $1,500 to replace our house's huge picture window system with insulated glass. Cold air had seeped thru for 25+ winters despite heavy draperies. Even when I pulled back draperies in summers, thick cloth blocked part of the view of the field & forest beyond.
NOW: Barely-there filmy curtains are decoration only: 
They don't cover any glass. 

It's such a JOY to see so much of God's world 

that was ALWAYS there, 

hidden because of my choice to keep draperies....

SO WHAT ??

Just as it's such a JOY to keep finding  "treasures" 
in God's Word that have been there all along: 
Found as I keep seeking His truth while
praying for wisdom 
(as God promises He will give when we ask -- like John 14:26, James 1:5-6).
Like Hebrews 12:1-3 -- such a comfort when I'm weary of people------   and of me.

What does LORD God say ??  

1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

 

3 For consider Him who endured such hostility  

from sinners against Himself,                                 

lest you become weary                                            

and discouraged in your souls.
