Now think upon one more thing - To whom does the world ascribe success? Is it not to those who have the most money? Do we not think them "successful"? And yet - when confronted by the rich, young ruler - Jesus did the opposite of the world, he told him to sell all he had and give it to the poor, and then "come and follow me". Jesus showed us true wealth, true "success" comes from following HIM - not from money or material possessions! Who indeed is better off? A rich man by the world's standards, with great wealth, worldly admiration and fame or a poor man by this world's standards who inherits, and has accumulated Heaven's wealth - Eternal life, streets paved with gold? Even the richest in this world do not use gold for their streets! It just goes to show us, what we value here on earth is of little value in heaven, and what we despise here on earth is of great value in Heaven. Hearken my brethren, hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to those that love him? Love HIM, not this world - seek Eternal riches, not that which moth and rust destroy. Set your hears on things above, not below. Seek the honor that comes from God, not from men. Selah.
This blog is my effort to share God's mind and most importantly, heart, as He shares them with me. I make a genuine effort to commune with Him daily and hear from Him. .Some poems are from Him to me, others from me to Him but all revelation shared is, I pray, from the Holy Spirit and not my carnal, soulish opinion. Please comment as you see fit. He is calling us all into His Holy of Holies.....let us all respond to his divine invitation for intimacy with a heart felt YES! SOS 2:11
