Life has a funny way of expressing itself. We hide things to keep it safe only to lose it because we forgot where we hid it in the first place. Some suggest the best way to find where we hid something is to buy a replacement. It is usually referred to ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder) which is like having a brain and body that never fully integrated so they just do their own things without involving each other. This analogy captures a key aspect of ADHD, which is often described as a disconnect between different brain regions, leading to a lack of coordination between thoughts, actions, and sometimes even physical sensations, making it feel like the mind and body are not fully aligned and operate somewhat independently.
But the beautiful thing about this is the moment when we find the lost precious thing. The joy felt at that very moment is beyond one can explain. Jesus explained this in a parable in the Bible. It goes like this, “Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it? And when she has found it, she calls her friends and neighbors together, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the piece which I lost!”. Here is a precious coin that the woman lost but her search for it without giving up hope is what paid off and she found the coin. She calls her friends and rejoices with them over the lost coin.
Sometimes in life we replicate the same thing with truth. Precious truth is hidden, and it calls for diligent effort on our side to find the truth when it comes to relationship with God. Many people are hiding from the truth and from the God of truth. The more we do this we are groping in darkness hoping to find light. We try to worship gods of imagination and myth that the truth becomes hidden from our eyes, eventually getting lost in the process.
Religion blinds us into thinking it can give contentment and joy. If we are true to ourselves, we will acknowledge that with religion, we are lost to frustration, depression, loneliness, panic, fear of tomorrow and towards the longings and yearning of the heart. The core of the matter is finding Jesus Christ who is “the way, the truth and the life”. Having a relationship with Him is finding the precious coin that you have been searching for so long. Jesus stated that He came to seek and save the lost. If you think you are lost in your problems, pain and pleasure you can reach out to Christ. Just ask Him for help and invite Him in your life. I guarantee your life will never be the same.
