I heard a myth yesterday that blessed me. A man went to a yard sale and saw a old dirty harley davidson motorcycle. The man always wanted a harley so he asked if he could buy the motorcycle and the seller said "My wife has been trying to get me to get rid of that bike for the longest, if you want it I will sell it to you for $100". The man agrees and takes the bike home. When he gets a chance to look at the bike to see if it can be restored. He calls an Harley Davidson store. The clerk checks the serial number of the bike and asked the man to look under the seat and tell him what it says. He does and the clerk tells him to hold as he waits he wonders maybe this old bike was stolen and they are going to arrest him. Then the clerk gets back on the phone and tell the man "My supervisor has authorize me to offer you $100,000 for the bike will you take it" The man declines wondering what he has just bought. The next day Jay Leno (remember this is a myth) calls him and offers the man $500,000 for the bike. What was so important about this dirty old bike that people wanted it so bad. The writing under seat read "The King". It was Elivs Presly's old motorcycle. The value was not in the bike but in who had owned the bike.
Sometimes what we have we don't see the value in. We just see this dirty old bike that will take some much work and money to restore it to good condition. What you have in possession is invaluable not becuase of it condition but It was owned by the True King Jesus Christ.
Our lives are of great value and many people are in search for the treasures that we possess. God has given of Himself to us so that His treasure can be found in this world. People will offer all they possess to possess what you have. The world is lost looking for a Savior, looking for the treasure that brings fulfillment. What they are looking for you possess. Those that find it in you will appreciate it, cherish it, and will support it.
The gift that you have will draw others to seeking to possess the land God has prepared for them. Your dirty old bike is in your possession don't be ashamed to share your gifts with the world. God bless you.
"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." Ephesians 2:10
"But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 5For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. 6For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us." II Corinthians 4:3-7
