Our Treasure House

"My treasure house is full, and angels watch its open doors..." -- A Course in Miracles; Workbook Lesson 316, 1:4

"We find that whatever blesses one blesses all, as Jesus showed with the loaves and the fishes... Spirit, not matter, being the Source of supply." -- Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy; Page 206, Lines 15-18

In moments of peace, resting in God, there is such an indescribable sense of wholeness and peace, of divine fulfillment and contentment. "My treasure house is full" is an apt description... or as the Psalmist said, "My cup runneth over." This has nothing to do with material structures or economic ups and downs. This sense of wholeness and fullness is Who We Are.

This treasure of wealth and wholeness is not dependent on anything at all... in fact, it is often most readily turned to and recognized when we feel most separate from it. As William Shakespeare said, "Sweet are the uses of adversity, which like the toad, ugly and venomous, wears yet a precious jewel in its head; and this our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything." Our challenges drive us to remember Who We Are.

Let's keep this in mind, regardless of economic swings or financial challenges. God is All, and our treasure house remains full, eternally.

"Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." -- The Bible; Psalm 23:6

"God is lavish, unfailing abundance; the rich, omnipresent Substance of the universe." -- John Randolph Price
