Monthly Devotion: Sharing The Treasure Within - June 2025
PASSAGE: Mark 4:14
“The farmer plants seed by taking God’s word to others.”
REFLRECTION:
Years ago, I made the most important decision of my life: I chose to make Jesus my Lord and Savior. That moment happened during my first camp, Young Life Summer Camp in 1986. It was there that my counselors walked alongside me and led me to Christ. I will always be grateful to them and to everyone who made that camp possible. It truly was a life-changing experience, and I thank the Lord for meeting me so clearly and powerfully there.
Since that summer, choosing to follow Jesus hasn’t been a one-time decision. It's a choice I’ve had to make again and again in everyday situations. But through every season, He has remained faithful, and I continue to walk with Him, growing in grace and trust each step of the way.
Mark 4:14 says, “The farmer plants seed by taking God’s word to others.”
I am saved today because my counselors took the time to share the love of God with me. Their willingness to reach out changed my life, and from that moment, I’ve had a strong desire to share my camp experience with my family and friends.
But before I can truly share this gift with others, I know I must put the Word of God first in my life every day. That means allowing God's Word to shape my actions, guide my speech, and lead my decisions. I want to invest my time in Scripture, letting it take root in me so it can bear fruit in the lives of others.
I believe every follower of Christ carries a treasure—a hope that the world desperately needs. As the song by David Meece says:
"You can go now, you can go, You've got the treasure that the world needs to know, You can go now, you can go, You've got the power of God, let it flow."
We truly have a treasure within us that can change the world. Let’s not keep it to ourselves. Let's plant it wherever we go. We are His representatives—let’s live like it today.
PRAYER:
Lord, thank you for giving me this great privilege of serving You. Lord, show me how to be your representative in everything I do. Give me the courage and strength in every opportunity to tell them about You, one kid at a time. Please keep the fire burning in my heart in serving You. In Jesus' name, Amen.
