I remember how it was, when I use to sit in the company of people I called friends who were vulgar in words and actions. It was fun and a rather carefree time, where we did and said what we wanted without restraint. But all the happiness in those times were fleeting and it left us with emptiness.
Then as I surrendered myself to the Lord and grew in holiness; I found that all that I had done in the past were distasteful and contrary to what my heavenly Father wanted for me. I was looking for love and happiness in all the wrong places.
I have found the most precious and priceless treasure there is to find, my Lord and my God! Life has meaning and so has death. Peace, love and joy surrounds my days. And even though I have to go through some trying days I do so not alone but with my Lord and I am comforted.
Glory be to the Father and the Son and to the Holy Spirit. Amen

Matthew 13:44–46
Jesus said to his disciples:
“The Kingdom of heaven is like a treasure buried in a field, which a person finds and hides again, and out of joy goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. Again, the Kingdom of heaven is like a merchant searching for fine pearls. When he finds a pearl of great price, he goes and sells all that he has and buys it.”
