"the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it." -matthew 13:45-46
i read this the other night and compared myself to the merchant man who has found the pearl of great price. i have found the most priceless blessing - the Gospel of Jesus Christ - and it seems like now i'm proving that i really want to be His disciple by selling all i have to buy it. by this i mean giving up all my own notions of who i am and what my life should be like, which are worth giving up in order to draw closer to God.
i know that God is the master refiner and that through my life experiences He is making me something far greater than i could make myself. but it still burns sometimes.
