The Jackpot!


Luke 16:13 ~ "No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.~"

Mat 6:19-21 ~ "Do not save riches for yourselves here on earth, where moths and rust destroy, and robbers break in and steal. Instead, save riches for yourselves in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and robbers cannot break in and steal. For your heart will always be where your riches are."

I am rich *y’all! I am not talking about financial or manmade riches. I am rich because I know Jesus, and all of my daily needs are met. I have my health, I am in my right mind, my children are healthy, happy, and the generational curses have been removed from them. I am rich because I know how to love and be loved by others. See the world would like you to believe that you are rich only if you have lots of money and things, but the reality is money can’t buy true peace, happiness, or love. Please don’t misunderstand, I am not saying that we can’t have nice things while here on this earth, only we should be very careful not to let the manmade things define or consume us because we can’t take them with us when we leave, but the riches that I own (love, peace, and happiness) are going with me when I do leave. The bottomeline is we should try to take care of and cherish the true riches we own now.

Can anyone out there relate?

Be Blessed *Y’all.
