The treasure of Christ sparkles with everlasting purpose and promise. The treasure is Christ. It is hidden only when hiddenness serves to intensify the enrichment of finding and being found. It is a truism to say that today is the only day we have. Yesterday is gone.
Tomorrow is but a dream.
But today is here with all its infinite possibilities. To live fully, the Psalmist says, there is no time like the present. Sometimes we miss today because we live in the past. Or past mistakes that we have never quite lived down, or for which we have never effectively sought forgiveness, so burden us that today is wasted on regret and remorse. Sometimes we miss today because we want to live in the future.
