Treaure

Your wife could never make a bad knee heal,
make the rain stop,
stretch 2 hours into 4,
make a terrible boss nicer,
turn back time,
conjure up a million dollars,
or get someone to agree with you.
But she can offer you comfort, and her being there helps make you feel better about whatever horrible situation you're stuck in.

Someday, when our relationship with God has moved beyond mere asking and lamp-rubbing, we will learn how to rest in His presence, and know what it's like to simply be with God.
His everlasting presence comforts.
The treaure God has offered to us, the one that is worth selling everything you've got in exchange for, is God Himself.

"The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field."
Matthew 13:44
