Post to Collecting Gems Along the Way

Like all gems, spiritual gems are plentiful but hidden. The most valuable gems are found in God's Word, but unless the Holy Spirit reveals the depth and beauty of these gems, their value remains obscured. This devotion brings out the beauty and preciousness of such gems in order to enrich the lives of Christians. Whether hidden by the elements, the surroundings, or amid what many would consider the debris of this world, precious spiritual gems abound but the searching soul must seek them out. They must also know what they are looking for to identify them because they are not obvious to the naked eye but to those who have the faith of a child and desire to learn how to chew the meat of God's Word. Once a gem is found, like the parable of the merchant in Matthew 13:45-46, (Jesus) who sells all (His life) to redeem and possess the property where a pearl of great price (the Church) was located (the world), we as believers must be willing to glean spiritual gems wherever we locate them regardless of the cost. It is the gems from heaven that enrich our lives and establish priceless treasures that will never lose their value for eternity Authors Rayola Kelley and Jeannette Haley have sought out such gems over their three decades of ministry together to share them through Bible Studies, books, art and teachings with others. This book is their third collaboration of their Facebook posts. Although diverse in their approach and subjects, their posts bring an array of truths that exhort to excellence, encourage struggling souls, enlighten the spirit, and cause joy to raise one up to consider the heights of God, the excellent ways of His holiness, and to catch glimpses of His glory. It is a book that brings the truth to practical levels of application or leads one into great heights of understanding the value that such treasures provide.
