It was a secret only a few knew. Along the banks of the railroad track about a quarter of a mile north of US 6 at the east edge of  Butler was a wonderful wild strawberry patch. When I was a kid I discovered this treasure and I rode my bike there for a snack for several years. Nothing tastes better than something you can get for free. Because I wanted to keep the berries for myself I never told anyone.

Is it possible that we want to keep the secret of God’s love for us all to ourselves, so we keep it a secret from others? There is always a never ending supply of grace available. Don’t keep that secret any longer; tell someone else what a treasure you have found.

Jesus said, “The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field, which when a man has found, he hides, and for joy of it goes and sells all that he has, and buys the field” (Matthew 13:44).

What treasure have you found that you kept secret?
