“Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces."
Matthew 7:6
It's hard to know who to trust in this world.
Each of us has a tendency to want to trust everyone; to believe that all people come from a good place, with good hearts, but unfortunately not everyone is kind. Some people only are focused on what will benefit them as individuals - they do not care who they have to hurt to succeed. These persons will charm you and woo you into believing that they have your best interests at heart, but in reality they are just using you for what they need in the moment.
We are called to love everyone, regardless of who they are or what they have done, but we must be careful with the treasures God has given to each of us. He has gifted each of us with special and unique gifts...treasures... which when given to the right people, grow and expand, but when given to the wrong people, these treasures wither and waste away.
Share God's love with everyone, but be discerning about who you will give the treasures of your heart. When you give the treasures of your heart - your sacred pearls - to the right person, you will find your strand of pearls growing in beauty and luster, but when you give your pearls to the wrong people your pearls will become worn.
How will you know when the right person comes along to share your treasures with? Trust the One who gave you the treasure in the beginning. He has it all planned out...and the treasures He has in store for you are countless beyond measure.

Matthew 7:5-6

Half of the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm. But the harm does not interest them

This is a really good one Court. I think we often feel we are "supposed" to be doing other things with our life and really we are doing what He wants us to with what He gave us!!
ReplyDeleteFavorite clothing??? Anything that might give the illusion of few pounds. LOL Really, I super love that Dodgers shirt you gave me for Opening Day this year!!!
