Matthew 13:44

"The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field."

-A man finds the truth of God, and in his giddiness, gets up and sells everything else he owns to take in the joy and truth of this one thing.  Isn't this beautiful?!!?  This is what God calls us to--to truly dive into His love and experience it in fullness.  So much so that we are willing to give up everything we once had that does not relate to it.  

Remember, the man buys the field for the treasure--he accepts the gift along with every aspect of life that comes with it:  the lack of a house; the possible leveling, plowing, and farming that the field requires to live in; the wild animals that may inhabit it; etc.  Not only that, but he completely casts off everything he once knew because it pales in comparison to this glorious new gift.  Have you ever experienced the same thing?  Because this is the image of the love of God.
