My soul yearns and pines
for the courts of the LORD.
My heart and my flesh
cry out for the living God. ~ Psalm 84:3
The psalmist yearns for the Kingdom of Heaven.
Jesus said, “The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure buried in a field, which a person finds and hides again, and out of joy goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.” ~ Matthew 13:44
Typically, we think of a treasure as something to be sold so that we can have more, more earthy things, but Jesus refers to the treasure of the Kingdom of Heaven as a treasure that we hold so dear that we sell all that we have to obtain this, the most valuable of treasures.
