The Real valuable ones.

I love Your commandments more than gold, yes, than fine gold! (Psalm 119:127)

An elderly woman in Scotland lived in abject poverty. Many years earlier, her son had left [for] America and had not returned.... One day a friend inquired, "Does your son ever help you?" Reluctantly she admitted, "No, but he writes me nice long letters and sends me interesting pictures." The friend wanted to speak harshly of the man, but he held back and simply asked, "May I see the pictures?" The woman took them out of a drawer, and to the friend's amazement, they were all sizable banknotes....

Many Christians...exist as spiritual paupers while possessing unlimited wealth. by failing to read and study the Scriptures, they neglect to cash in on their treasures.
