A Blessing to See the Spiritual Gold

Easter is big,
Like Christmas,
At our house,
Overflowing with presents
For grown kids and the grandbaby
And nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews.

But, as gift-giver Anne requires,
No child can get their giant loot of Easter presents
Without surrendering a special gold coin
That was tucked inside their special golden egg
That was hidden somewhere during a pre-gifts egg hunt.

When the little ones
Struggle to find their special egg
Anne helps them find it
(she all but points at it)
Because, she has spent half a year
Buying up Easter goodies for them
And she WANTS them to find their egg—
She NEEDS them to find their egg,
So she can give them what she has
Long prepared for them.

I think Jesus wants you to see
Spiritual treasure like that—
He’s purchased so much for you,
He doesn’t want you to ever be blind to it.
He wants you find the spiritual riches.

I bless your spiritual eyes,
Child of God,
To see the treasures Jesus sees-
To see the spiritual gold.
