Discovering the kingdom of heaven is like finding hidden treasure.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada and I would not trade it for the world! I’m talking about God’s will for my life – and yes, it includes this wheelchair. It’s amazing how when we really embrace the will of God, everything changes. In Matthew 13 Jesus said that the kingdom of heaven is like a man who discovered a hidden treasure in a field… in his joy he sold everything and bought that field.” Now notice the key point is that we must buy the field. Now the field itself may not look desirable; it may be ugly, it may look desolate. But here’s the catch – once you know that the field contains a rich treasure, the whole picture changes. Not many people would want my field [quadriplegia is anything but desirable], but to me it’s beautiful because in it is the treasure of knowing Jesus better. So, whatever your lot in life, embrace it. Purchase it! Buy it! The treasure is worth it.
