"Treasures" by Martha Snell Nicholson

  Love this poem, and its so true. It's a good reminder that I think we too often need. WAY too often I find myself in this place. But God, through His Word (and music), brings me back to Him, and says, "Hey I'm all you need. Delight in Me, and I will give you the desires of your heart. You can't find your desires, happiness, or peace anywhere else. I am ALL you need." And lately I've been finding that our in incredible ways!! 

One by one He took them from me,

All the things I valued most, 

until I was empty-handed;

Every glittering toy was lost. 

And I walked earths highways, grieving,

In my rags and poverty. 

Till I heard His voice inviting,

"Lift your empty hands to Me!" 

So I held my hand toward heaven, 

And He filled them up with a store

Of his own transcendent riches,

Till they could contain no more. 

And at last I comprehended

With my stupid mind and dull,

That God COULD not pour His riches

Into hands already full!

Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart."
