The Key

     I have some keys I have no idea which lock they fit.  I just leave them in a drawer and forget about them until, finally, I decide to toss them in the trash.  Then, there are my important keys.  If I lose my car key or my house key, I will, frantically, search high and low until they are found.  Keys can be an important asset.  There is one key I absolutely cannot do without.  Being in possession of the right key makes all the difference in opening the door to truth and life.
     I pray I am found, peacefully, searching for it daily.  I pray I never lose my grip on this key.  I pray I keep it close to my heart at all times.
