Do not try to hide your treasure; do not think that you can hide it if Jesus is truly with you! I remember a true story about a little girl who used to sing hymns which she had learned at some meetings led by the evangelist D.L. Moody. The childs parents were in a high position in society and did not approve of her singing these hymns, so her mother forbade it. But one day she caught her daughter singing the hymn, Oh, Im so glad that Jesus loves me, and told her off. Why are you singing that song, even though I have told you not to? she asked indignantly. Oh mother, replied the girl, I cant help it; the song just comes out of me all by itself! If Jesus is in the heart, he must come out. It is our duty to witness about Jesus, but there is more than that. If we do not do it, it suggests we have not given ourselves up to Jesus we have not surrendered our character, our reputation, our all.
