HIDDEN GEMS

Sometimes we can be idealistic
Of how life should really be,
But most times the valuables are in our midst
But where we fail to truly see.

We’re enriched on a daily basis
By our God-given family,
And friends that sincerely want the best
So blessings we will see.

It’s in a child’s laughter
Where the happiness is vast,
And also in our experiences
Where memories do last.

It’s the prayer warriors behind the scenes
Who pray for our protection too,
Knowing that the spiritual battle is all too real
Who intercede with hearts so true.

It’s in an old man’s story
As he shares his memories,
With words of wisdom in his tears
Where the treasure can be seen.

It’s in the incorruptible beauty
Of a quiet and gentle spirit;
It’s in the hidden person of the heart
With sincerity within it.

Sometimes the gems are hidden
But not deliberately,
Because at times our soul is troubled
Where confusion is all we see.

There are hidden gems everywhere
Where the eyes of our heart should know,
That when we awake with every breath we take
It’s God’s glory we do show.

The hidden gems are timeless;
They’re in a stranger’s smile too,
With a helping hand and a giving heart
Where there’s kindness in all they do.

Our Savior is a hidden gem
As He’s the Father’s precious Son,
Who sacrificed His life for us
As a propitiation for everyone.

“Rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.” 1 Peter 3:4

“Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You.” Psalm 119:11

“But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.” 1 Corinthians 2:7-8
