When God created the universe He decided to plant a special gift, a hidden treasure. There was, He decided, the need to have a place to ensconce the wisdom of the world. With such a trove distant but available, people would be energized to seek and value the most wondrous offering God ever left.
The problem was for God, where to put the gift? One angel suggested that it be placed on the highest mountain. In that way only the most committed would be able to achieve it. “No. That would put it out of reach of all but the most hardy,” explained God. Another one of the Hosts posited that such wisdom belongs on the bottom of the ocean. “Too wet,” God countered. So it went until one meek angel offered, “Why not put it in people’s heart? That way, the wisdom is always with a reach but the people have to struggle to find it.” So it was.
We toil for truth. We sweat to find our place on the wheel of life. There are many paths but only one is right for you. It emanates from those secret recesses of your heart.
James Webb write, “Honor begins who is accepting that what we do, large and small, matters. When I was first appointed Secretary of the Navy, a reporter mentioned how important he thought his job was and I agreed, but I also told him that when I die, God is not going to ask me if I had been secretary of the Navy.”
It is all there, in the secret places of the heart. You know what to do.
