[Discoveries] 07-03-08 Wealth from poverty -- Matthew 5:3

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. -- 
Matthew 5:3*/

We have our treasure in earthen vessels -- clay pots. If we fill our 
clay pots with clay, how much room is there for treasure? The poor in 
spirit empty out the clay. Ceramics look nice, but who wants clay when 
you can have gold, silver and precious stones?

Those who have the least to offer God have the most to gain. It's not 
the quantity that God cares about, it's the percentage. Jesus asked the 
rich young ruler for everything he had because that was the only way He 
could get all of him. That's the mystery of the children of God: When we 
no longer "own" anything we possess everything.

Be encouraged!
