Treasure The Gold God Put Inside Poem by John Sensele

Obstacles mature the faith we profess
When fire extracts the best treasure we possess inside
If we stay the course and withstand the onslaught of stress
That strikes everything people see of us from outside

Because it doesn't matter the nonsense loose tongues say
The ugliness green-eyed monsters claim you demonstrate
The poverty bad-mouthed liars pretend you display
The opportunities envy-filled bystanders stress you frustrate

Because the beauty inside of you sparkles like a shining star
Twinkling in the sky to give direction to the destiny God wrote into your life
Locking up treasures within your person to buy anything your heart desires from a car
To a mansion, rising through the ranks as God's omnipotence blows a fife

To confirm blessings, graces and favours granted to you long before your birth
As God purposed a future teeming with pleasant surprises
That convert the work of your hands into wealth and health without dearth
Of sterling outcomes and prizes

That await action from your part
To spring into action
As your contributions initiate the start
Of a great adventure in which your priceless dreams come to fruition.
