10 Pieces of Silver: a Treasure Restored Or Stella Had a House Party

alienated and separated has become society disenfranchised and distant are now the state of families all of those systems designed to make us feel connected have fallen short and now we feel rejected we're just a bunch of numbers and no one even knows our names we're just a group of digits and that's a darn shame but we're more than pieces of silver for we do have hearts for we are the blessed children of the Lord Of Lords, Our God and it's only in the church where we've kept our sanity for out in the world it's just total anarchy we're more than just objects to be used and misused we're more than just bodies who by our bosses are being abused dehumanized and desensitized is how we've been treated by the status quo but we are treasures in the eyes of the God we all love and know God loves us and it's time we loved ourselves Jesus loves us and died to give us an eternal wealth yet people are more concerned with amassing monetary hordes no compassion for each other and no love for the Lord we need to seek the word of God with a desire to be changed for now is the time for our spirits to be rearranged no longer to take each other for granted but to treat each other with respect to see ourselves as more than pieces of silver as more than just objects to be like that woman who lost her coin and diligently searched until it was traced and then to rejoice upon finding it for her treasure was now fully replaced to diligently seek the treasure that is the word of God and then to apply it directly to our hearts to comprehend the true value of our fellow sisters and brothers and come to understand that we need to treasure one another for at some point in life you will need someone's support for life is like a basketball game you need a team on the court 10 pieces of silver, Stella had a house party a single coin restored, a parable about rediscovery for whatever it is in life that you feel that you have lost just take it to Jesus and lay it on the cross let Jesus restore it, let your treasure be refound let God reform you and place you on higher ground to look high and look low for that which has been misplaced to seek that treasure of the spirit, God's saving grace and once it's restored to rejoice and celebrate Stella had a house party upon the restoration of her faith
