DAY 266
One Pearl of Great Price
기원후 1세기
ORIGINAL
εὑρὼν δὲ ἕνα πολύτιμον μαργαρίτην ἀπελθὼν πέπρακεν πάντα ὅσα εἶχεν καὶ ἠγόρασεν αὐτόν
📜 THE VERSE
On finding one pearl of great price, the merchant went and sold everything he had to buy it.
❓ TODAY'S QUESTION
Am I so busy spreading myself across many good things that I fail to focus on the one truly valuable thing?
📝Reflection
This merchant was an expert appraiser of pearls. That he stopped in front of this one, after seeing countless others, means he could tell true worth from the rest. We often try to grasp too many good things at once and miss the very best in the process. Choosing is not giving up — it is focusing. The decision to let go of everything else in order to hold one thing fully is not loss, but the clearest form of gain.
