An Indie Heart: Introduction

     Last fall, my friends and I did a movie marathon through the Indiana Jones series. After a long night of movies, I really pondered about it and God laid a message on my heart. Indiana Jones (a.k.a Indie or “Junior”) was always on a mission to find some treasure. Perhaps Indie wasn’t a believer when it came to the religious backgrounds of his treasures, but there is so much we can learn from this fictional character. He was very intelligent in finding and cautiously using clues –especially when it came to the traps set for the fools after the treasure. Despite the various roadblocks thrown in his way, Indie would always persevere in his journey after the treasure he had set out after. After he found the treasure, he wouldn’t sell it to make a fortune, he put it where it “belonged” in the museums.

     What is the treasure? Have you found it? Have you sought after it with all you heart? All you life? What have you given in order to obtain the treasure? And if you have the treasure, what are you doing with it? I’m not talking about a treasure that is physical, or temporary for that matter, but something which held its value yesterday, holds it today and will hold it tomorrow. A treasure fit to satisfy for eternity.

     Matthew 13:44-46 “The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.”

     ...one last question, “What good would it be, if you had everything, but what you didn't have, was the only thing you need?” -Audio Audrenaline
