What to do with your priceless treasure

In 1987, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution carried the story of a rock hound named Rob Cutshaw who owned a little roadside shop in North Carolina. He would hunt for rocks, then sell them to collectors or jewelry makers. He knew enough about rocks to decide which to pick up and sell, but he wasn't an expert.

On a dig twenty years ago, Rob found a beautiful, huge rock like he'd never seen before. He tried unsuccessfully to sell it, and kept the rock under his bed or in his closet. He guessed the blue chunk could bring as much as $500 dollars, but he would have taken less if something urgent came up like paying his power bill.

That's how close Rob came to selling for a few hundred dollars what turned out to be the largest, most valuable sapphire ever found. The blue rock that was abandoned to the darkness of a closet-now known as "The Star of David" sapphire-weighs nearly a pound, and could easily sell for $2.75 million.

So often, those who are in Christ don't realize the incredible treasure they've received. So they put in under their bed or in their closet instead of sharing it with the world. Don't make the mistake of keeping your faith to yourself. Give it away to the world and let them marvel at your Savior!
