Isn't that scripture amazing? Me? You? God has chosen us to be His treasure. I cannot fathom that a God, who I believe, created the universe would want me as his treasured possession. This is truly amazing news. It adds value to everything I do, and it propels me to desire to cleanse my every action and my every thought to make it pure and holy.
Pure and holy! What is that in a world where people fight over whether or not particular scriptures are even truth or fantasy.
Regardless, I desire to live my live in a way that one day can be tested as if it is gold, run through a fire of purification, found only to be pure and more than simply glitter.
In my work and in my entertaining of audiences, I long to keep it pure. I want God to look at how I touch the hearts of others and smile, valuing me and my work as his treasured possession. When I sing and play guitar and saxophone before those in an Altzheimer's unit or those celebrating a wedding, I want everyone within earshot to leave the event filled with more than musical notes floating through the air.
I matter to God, you matter to God. We are his treasured possessions. If, when I close my guitar case at the end of a show, I know my God is smiling on me, then I have done my job well.
