A friend of mine met with an accident driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn’t move. What was the 　36 was he found himself unable to ask for help-his mobile phone went out of 　37 as a result of exhausted battery. Nothing could be done but to

38 in cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that day broke, and then the 　39 of the rescue.

　 It is almost 　40 that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his 41 : “First of all I checked up my 　42 conditions and found myself not in fatal danger. As there was no 　43 to call for help, I leaned back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from 44 . In this way I dozed (打盹) off.”

His story put an end to my regret for the 　45 of an exploration adventure that happened last year. A group of young men 　46 to explore a mountain cave and got lost.

47 to find a way out in the dark cave they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of 　48 . Finally they fell dead in fear and exhaustion. According to the 　49　

people that found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the

50 of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to 　51

themselves, they would probably sense a faint light glimmering (闪烁) not far away.

A man was exploring caves by the seashore when he found a bag with a bunch of hardened clay balls. It was like someone had 36 the balls and left them out in the sun to bake.

They didn’t look like much, but they 37 the man, so he took the bag out of the cave with him. As he walked along the beach, he 38 the clay balls one at a time out into the ocean as far as he could. He thought little about it 39 he dropped one of the clay balls and it cracked open (裂开) on a rock. Inside was a beautiful, precious stone! 40 ,the man started breaking open the 41 balls. Each contained a similar treasure. He found thousands of dollars’ 42 of jewels in the 20 or so leftover ones.

Then it 43 him. He’d been on the beach a long time, throwing maybe 50 or 60 of the balls, with their hidden treasure, into the 44. Instead of thousands of dollars in treasure, he 　45 have taken home tens of thousands but he had just thrown it away!

It’s like that 46 people. We look at someone, maybe even ourselves, but we 47 see the clay shell. It doesn’t look like much from the 48 .It isn’t always beautiful and shining, so we 49 it. We see that person as less important than someone more 50 or stylish or well-known or wealthy. But we haven’t taken the time to find the treasure 51 inside that person.

There is a treasure in each and every one of us. If we take the time to get to know that person and ask God to show us that person the 52 He sees them, then the clay begins to 53 and the brilliant jewel begins to shine forth. May we not come to the 54 of our lives and find out that we’ve thrown away a 55 in friendships because the gems(宝石) were hidden in balls of clay! May we see the people in our world as God sees them.
