In our life, where individuals come and go, often judged at face value, lies the opportunity to uncover hidden treasures in people. Beyond the surface, beyond the initial impressions and hearsay, each person holds a wealth of stories, experiences, and gifts waiting to be discovered. Today, in our daily devotional for April 6, let’s embark on a journey of openness, where we give others the chance to reveal the depth and richness they carry within.
Daily Devotional for April 6
“Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters. Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.” (Hebrews 13:1-2)
Hidden Treasures in People
It’s easy to form quick opinions about others, to categorize them based on fleeting encounters or secondhand information. Yet, when you choose to look deeper and engage with genuine curiosity and kindness, you begin uncovering hidden treasures in people.
Each individual you meet is a complex tapestry woven with unique talents, wisdom, and experiences.
The Gift of Openness
Opening your heart to know someone is a gift for them and yourself. That person you’ve overlooked or judged too hastily could hold the key to understanding, companionship, or a fresh perspective that enriches your life.
They could be the friend you’ve been praying for, the mentor you didn’t know you needed, or a fellow traveler on life’s journey with insights to share.
Embracing the Potential in Others
Remember, every person you encounter is a child of God, created with purpose and potential. By giving others the chance to be seen and heard, you honor that divine spark within them.
As iron sharpens iron,
so one person sharpens another. (Proverbs 27:17)
You never know when a simple act of kindness or attentive listening might reveal a hidden treasure in someone, transform your perception, and forge unexpected bonds.
