“The treasures of a saint are the presence of God, the favor of God, union and communion
with God, the pardon of sin, the joy of the Spirit, the peace of conscience, which
are jewels that none can give but Christ, nor none can take away but Christ.

Now why should a gracious soul keep off from a way of holiness because of afflictions,
when no afflictions can strip a man of his heavenly jewels, which are his ornaments
and his safety here, and will be his happiness and glory hereafter?

Why should that man be afraid, or troubled for storms at sea, whose treasures are
sure in a friend’s hand upon land?

A believer’s treasure is always safe in the hands of Christ.

His life is safe, his soul is safe, his grace is safe, his comfort is safe, and 
his crown is safe in the hand of Christ.

‘_I know Him in whom I have believed, and that He is able to keep that which I have
committed unto Him until that day_,’ saith the Apostle (**2 Tim. 1:12**).

The child’s most precious things are most secure in his father’s hands; so are our
souls, our graces, and our comforts in the hand of Christ.”
