Parable of the great pearl.

Christ's Parables can be tough.  Even the Apostle's asked Jesus to try another way of teaching them, than the parables, but Jesus happened to also explain his parables to them, after.

He speaks of one, when a person finds a huge pearl, that is so wonderful--that pearl, that person forsakes everything else in his life.

That pearl is the Gospel, and service to the Gospel, and doing the Christian walk, both together, is what means to forsake all else.  To make the Gospel a priority in one's life.

Spurgeon on casting cares to the Lord.

My case is urgent, and I do not see how I am to be delivered; but this is no business of mine. He who makes the promise will find ways and means of keeping it. It is mine to obey His commands; it is not mine to direct His counsels. I am His servant, not His solicitor. I call upon Him, and He will deliver.

-Charles Spurgeon

pass it on: selfcare
