Rich Forever
Why Wait To Really Live?
Give Your All, Today!
Psalm 138:6
For though the Lord is high, he regards the lowly; but the haughty he perceives from far away.

Luke 12:19-21
The rich will say to their soul, “Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.” But God said to him, “You fool! This very night your life is being demanded of you. And the things you have prepared, whose will they be?” So it is with those who store up treasures for themselves but are not rich toward God.

Words of Grace for Today –

How people have yearned to be rich. To be able to ‘take a break’, head off on the ‘freedom 55’ train, give up deadlines for lifelines, to do what you want, when you want, where you want, and how you want, to turn ‘short, nasty, and brutish’ into ‘eat, drink, and be merry!’
But life simply does not work that way.
Life lived for oneself becomes perverse, if it wasn’t that already. And it rots from within, spreading to those around one, and affected by one. It’s living hell.
The true treasure of life is free, but not without cost. It is to live as Jesus did, giving everything to give life to others, to love one’s neighbour as oneself, even one’s enemies, and the downtrodden and outcast most of all.
To be truly rich, we only need recognize that God walks with us, blesses us, and sends us out to be that same blessing for all other people.
