A pretty colored, gilded box sat gingerly unlatched. It's contents were a mysteryan embryo unhatched.

"Do not look in the box", He warned, "I know what you will find!" Yet- I rationalized my sinfulness to satiate my mind. At first it all seemed so lovely! Gold and rubies- pearls galore! I ran my fingers through it all and still craved even more! Until finally the day came He slammed the guilded casket closed! And took my gods away from me and left me there- exposed. And, as I stood there naked feeling lonely and betrayedHe took my face within His hands and said: "My child, you've strayed". Yet with a kind and gentle smile He presented an old, wooden box, made of rough-hewn wood, it wasit had no key; no lock. It wasn't near as lovely as the box I had once known. "This is the box I made for you", He said, "please, take it home". I took it home and opened it and much to my surpriseI saw myself inside it through my Heavenly Fathers' eyes.
