Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. 
Matthew 13:44 NKJV 

One Spring Day, as I was getting ready to mow the grass for the first time, I happened to notice a cluster of tiny purple wildflowers growing right in the middle of our lawn. Hating to just cut down such a beautiful sight, I decided to put the mower away for a few days and went into the house. A minute later, I heard a knock on our front door, and when I opened it, I found my neighbor standing there. “I hope you don’t mind,” he sheepishly asked. “But my kids are hoping you would let us have a few of those little flowers growing in your lawn for our flower garden.”  

“Sure! No problem!” I answered, delighted that they loved those little flowers too. So, I hurried and found a trowel, then together we dug out a few clusters, which I slid into a small pot so my neighbor could carry them home. Their simple request reminded me of the treasure in the field, in Jesus’ parable. Because, just like the kingdom of God those blooms were almost overlooked. Just like God’s kingdom, they were a treasure whose value almost no one noticed. We need the eyes of those children who were living next door, who discovered God’s treasure right in our own back yard. Jeus tells us that if we must be willing to humble ourselves and go knock on his door, and ask, and He will be delighted to invite us to dig it up in His word and bring it home to plant it in the garden for our heart!
