As a kid I had a lot of fear and anxiety about the dentist and disliked having to go for my regular appointment and cavity filings but I was a compliant child.  One part of the visit did intrigue me.  At the end of the visit we got to get something from the treasure chest.  There was a big brown old-looking box kept with the receptionist that creaked when you opened it.  Inside were little trinkets and toys to choose from. The most exciting part of the experience was opening the chest wondering what you might find and claim as your own.  God invites us to the same experience with our hearts. God knows the truth of who we are lies in a treasure deep within us not tainted by circumstances or our thinking.  Sometimes on our daily date, I can sense the excitement with which God greets me as I sit down for our time together.  I think God is full of anticipation at the possibility of discovery when we begin to explore the buried treasure deep within us. God created us so we might experience the wonder of life.  God keeps protected in us this space full of treasures ready for our discovery when we have the courage to explore our hearts.
