There was once a monk who found a precious stone, a most valuable diamond. A short time later, the monk met a traveler, who said he was hungry and asked the monk if he would share some of his provisions.
When the monk opened his bag, the traveler saw the precious stone and, on an impulse, asked the monk if he could have it. Amazingly, the monk gave the traveler the stone.
The traveler departed quickly, overjoyed with his new possession. However, a few days later, he came back, searching for the monk.
He returned the stone to the monk and made a request: “Please give me something more valuable, and more precious than this diamond.
“What could be more valuable that this priceless stone?” asked the monk.
“Please give me whatever is inside of you that enabled you to give me this precious stone!”
This is what Jesus gave to you and me -– The power of giving of ourselves and the power of compassion that dwells inside each one of us!!
Think of a time when YOU gave someone what was most precious in YOUR heart.
