This gives great insight to Matthew 13:44.
You have found a treasure: the treasure of God’s love. You know where it is but you are not ready to own it fully.
So many attachments keep pulling you away.
If you would fully own your treasure, you must hide it in the field where you found it, go off happily to sell everything you own, and then come back and buy the field.
Finding the treasure is only the beginning of the search.
Finding the treasure without being ready yet to fully own it will make you restless. (This is where most of us live)
This restless search for God is the way to holiness.
It is the journey to the place where you can rest.
Henri Nouwen
Our desire for God is the desire that should guide all other desires!
Have a Great Day!
