Treasure Your Own Treasure

Treasure Your Own Treasure

Treasure your own treasure or else you may feel like trash when the treasure that you took for granted, failing to treasure is gone. Be forewarned and persuaded, also, to keep your hands off other people’s treasure or else you will trash other people’s lives, provoking people to trash you, reaping the trash you sowed.

Philippians 1:9-11 (Amplified Bible)
And this I pray: that your love may abound yet more and more and extend to its fullest development in knowledge and all keen insight [that your love may display itself in greater depth of acquaintance and more comprehensive discernment],

So that you may surely learn to sense what is vital, and approve and prize what is excellent and of real value [recognizing the highest and the best, and distinguishing the moral differences], and that you may be untainted and pure and unerring and blameless [so that with hearts sincere and certain and unsullied, you may approach] the day of Christ [not stumbling nor causing others to stumble].

May you abound in and be filled with the fruits of righteousness (of right standing with God and right doing) which come through Jesus Christ (the Anointed One), to the honor and praise of God [that His glory may be both manifested and recognized].
