Finding the Needle in the Haystack



Here's a Needle You can Find 
in a Haystack! 



I have heard it said that you can always find a needle in a haystack if you are looking for one!  It's a saying for looking for something "bad," a trivial matter.  That's a needle in a haystack already.  If you are looking for the negative, well then, you can always find it, even the needle in the haystack.  

However, let's reverse it.  How about looking for the silver lining or something good in an impossible situation?  I am not saying t5o overlook reality--just to look beneath the appearance of things.

If you just look for what's right - in others,
in relationships, in yourself and your journey -
you will always find it.

In scripture, and I tread carefully with this example--Jesus says it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich man, possessed by his riches,m to enter the kingdom of heaven.  However,  Jesus also said that with God all things are possible by seeking first the kingdom.  If that same rich man was not possessed by riches--but seeking the kingdom by blessing others, well--I suppose Jesus would say you could drive a Mack truck through the eye of the needle!
