Are you True Gold or Fools Gold.

Are you living a life of True Gold or Fools Gold?

The next time you are by a river, look down you might see something shiny in the water. Could it be the most precious metal of all - Gold. Reach down and pick up the little piece of something and take it with you. Once home take it to a jewelry shop to find out what it is. After waiting at the shop the jeweler comes back to tell you its only fools gold. It looks very lovely from the outside but will only crumble into nothing when pressure is applied. Thinking about my live and all the trials I have faced I started to think how wonderful it would be to live a life more like True Gold than Fools Gold.

True gold only gets more lovely and priceless as it is put to the fire and then pounded into something special. Fools gold does not withstand the test of time and will be destoyed.

Fools gold will crumble if pressure is applied. However, true gold will conform as needed. This allows for a hunk of gold to be made into rings, bracelets, necklaces and so much more. If we try to live a life of fools gold we will crumble when the Lord tried to form out lives into something wonderful for him

Fire is very important to make gold wonderful. Each fire causes more and more impurities to rise to the surface so it can be removed, leaving nothing but pure gold behind. All the trials we must endure in life causes our impurities to come to the surface so Christ can remove them.

How wonderful it would be to not have trials, pressures, heartaches and sorrows, but without them our lives would be empty. Fools gold looks wonderful but it has no value. I want a live that has true value and is not just pretty from the outside.


So this is what happens when I have time on my hands and I let my mind wonder. :)
