Again, the kingdom of
heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls; on finding one pearl of
great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.
Priceless treasure
There is no hesitation. No clear-minded calculation when you
find the pearl of great price. You simply know … and know it is worth all you are
… and all you have. You know … you must have it, hold it near and treasure what
you have found.
But do you really find it? Are our souls lonely hunters
seeking the kingdom of your love where … in relationships … and in the depth of
our souls … we enter a deeper reality laced with the Love you are … so that we
know ourselves whole and complete, wanted and welcomed, filled to the brim with
the substance of you who are Love itself?
Do we consciously search for this, or is this more like a subterranean
stream within us drawing us toward what we most need … often without our
awareness?
Is there a feeling, a deep inner urge toward something we
cannot name, but which some wondrous part of our soul knows … for this I was
born, for this the Holy One made me?
When we find ourselves in the presence of this pearl of
great price, we realize we found nothing but have been found by You, who are
the loneliest hunter of all, seeking us out in every love we know.
And having been found by Love, startled to come
across that pearl of great price perhaps when you weren't much looking for it, the soul knows before the mind can form a
single thought that this … this Love … is what you always needed.
The soul just knows.
Pr. David L. Miller
