The most precious metal – gold – is hidden. It can only be found by strenuous digging in the ground or searching diligently through many rocks in a stream. It’s not easy work, but when it is discovered there is much elation and joy, as the person who found it will be rich.

God is like gold. He is hidden, and it is not easy work to find Him. But when you discover Him you will have much elation and joy, for you will be rich.
