AND
May we never loose our wonder: To know the breadth, the length, the hight and the depth of Gods love, that surpases all knowledge, that we will be filled with the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:18/19
E
MMA SAW A BEAUTIFUL AND VERY
OLD WODDEN TREASURE CHEST IN THE
SHOP NEXT TO THE CAFE WHERE HER MOM WORKED ONE DAY.
SHE KNEW THAT THEY USUALLY CONTAINED A LOT OF VALUABLE THINGS.
S
HE WHENT HOME AND GRABBED HER
OLD SOCK. SHE HAD SAVED HER MONEY FROM CHRISTMAS IN THE SOCK.
SHE WAS DETERMINED TO GET THE CHEST.
T
HE OLD MAN AT THE SHOP LOOKED AT HER WITH A FROWN.
HE SAID THE CHEST WASN‘T WORTH ANYTHING AND THAT SHE SHOULD RATHER SPEND HER MONEY ON SOME CANDY.
B
UT EMMA BOUGHT THE CHEST ANYWAY. SHE COULDN‘T WAIT TO LOOK INSIDE...
B
UT THEN NOTHING.
JUST AN EMPTY OLD CHEST. NO!
THERE WAS SOMETHING... THE BOTTOM SEEMED TO BE MOVING. AS SHE LOOKED CLOSER SHE SAW WATER, WAVES...
E
MMA WAS SO FASCINATED BY WHAT SHE SAW,
THAT SHE LOST HER BALANCE AND FELL...
T
HE LANDING WAS SOFT. ACTUALLY IT WAS QUITE WET.. WHERE ON EARTH WAS SHE?
S
HE LOOKED AROUND. THERE WAS WATER EVERYWHERE
AND BEAUTIFUL FISH. SUNRAYS WHERE BREAKING THROUGH THE WATER. THE WAVES SEEMED TO BE SINGING A SOOTHING SONG AS THEY BOUNCED PLAYFULLY UP AND DOWN.
E
MMAS EYES WERE CAPTURED.
SHE KNEW THE ADVENTURE HAD JUST BEGUN.
A
ND OFF SHE WHENT TO DISCOVER...
THE IDEA BEHIND: I HAD A REVELATION ABOUT GODS LOVE SOME TIME BACK. IT WAS ABOUT A TREASURE CHEST. I HAD READ THE PARABLE OF THE HIDDEN TREASURE. THIS PARABLE ALREADY SAIS THAT GODS LOVE IS LIKE A TREASURE. THE FIRST THING I PICTURED WAS A TREASURE CHEST, AND IT MADE SENCE TO ME THAT WE CAN NEVER FULLY KNOW WHAT THE TREASURE IS GOD HAS GIVEN US, BUT ONCE WE START DIGGING INSIDE OF IT, WE FIND OUT THERES NOTHING MORE VALUABLE OR FASCINATING. AND FOR ME THE QUESTION WAS, HOW FASCINATED AM I OF WHAT GOD HAS FOR ME. IS IT LIKE A TREASURE I HAVE TO HAVE? ITS SO BIG THERES ALWAYS MORE TO EXPLORE.
