We are rich.
No matter what you think about how much money you make or all the material things you think you don't have. We are rich.
Most of the world is made up of adults and children living in dirt homes, living in the streets, going from homeless shelter to homeless shelter.
We are rich.
We have clothes on our backs, we have 3 meals a day, we have a roof over our heads, we have beds to sleep in, we have showers to clean up in, we have our own computers-phones-mp3 players-books-decorations-makeup-hair products-stuff that we could live without, but have, unlike most of the world.
We are rich.
We aren't worrying about whether we will get another meal today. We aren't desperate for food and water so badly that we drink out of the sewar. We aren't freezing during the winter while sleeping outside all curled up. We aren't just getting by day to day. We aren't hoping we will get a coat donated to us before the winter hits.
We are rich.
We have so much. We don't even realize how truly blessed we are. We are healthy (most of the time), we get checkups, dentist appointments, we go shopping wanting more and more, we look for bigger and better things, these things consume us as though we are worshiping another god. We have hope, we have joy, we are not thankful for all the things God has given us. We act as though nothing is wrong in this world. Everything is okay, as long as I don't turn up like that man.
We are rich.
We don't even take one look at a homeless person and wonder what their story is. How did they get to living out on the streets? We pass them by...Some of most poor, broken-hearted, hurt, destitute, etc people in this world are actually in God's favor even though we are all loved equally. Jesus says to feed the hungry. Jesus gave his time after time after time to those who have nothing and are at the pit-bottom of their lives.
We are so rich.
"I love you Lord; break me and take me to the deepest places on this earth who need to know what you have done for them. And I will open up my heart, search me in the deepest part; by you, I'm purified"
