A man was exploring caves by the seashore. In one of the caves he found a bag with a lot of hardened clay balls. They didnt look like much， but they interested the man so he took the bag out of the cave with him.

As he walked along the beach， he would throw the clay balls one at a time out into the ocean as far as he could. He thought little about it until he dropped one of the balls and it broke open on a rock. Inside was a beautiful， precious stone.

The man was so excited that he started breaking open the remaining clay balls. Each contained a similar treasure. He found thousands of dollars worth of jewels in the 20 or so clay balls he had left. Then it struck him. He had been on the beach a long time. He had thrown maybe 50 or 60 of the clay balls with their hidden treasure into the ocean waves. Instead of thousands of dollars in treasure， he could have taken home tens of thousands， but he just threw it away.

Its like that with people. There is a treasure in each and every one of us. If we take the time to get to know that person， and if we ask God to show us that person the way He sees them， then the clay begins to peel away and the bright gem begins to shine forth.

May we not come to the end of our lives and find out that we have thrown away a fortune in friendships because the gems were hidden in bits of clay.
