There used to be a show called Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. There are many get rich schemes promoted by infomercials. When the Powerball Lottery gets high, people buy more tickets. Not that there is anything wrong with being rich, but the obsession with it reveals something about us.

Do you know what God is rich in? He doesn’t need anything. Gold, jewels, all of those things that represent being rich, he created. He does not need anything from us. Yet the bible describes God as being rich in something.
Ephesians 2:4 says
But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy
God is rich in mercy which means his mercy will never run out. The reason he is rich in mercy is because of his great love for us.
This causes me to think that if we want to store up treasures in heaven like Jesus talked about, we should focus on showing mercy and love to others as we share about Jesus rather than focus on doing great things for God.
I love the way Mother Theresa said it.
“We can do no great things, only small things with great love.”
Thank you for reading. God Bless.
Focus on showing mercy and love. Amen!
Amen, brother. Every morning His mercies are new!
a truth that is very comforting
True. And truthfully, it’s His mercies that sustains us day after day. Not our riches or wealth. 💯
His mercy has allowed me to rise above so much
Amen! It is important to share His mercy and love. The quote by Mother Theresa is a favorite of mine. 🌺
It’s a fav of mine too 🙂
Showing mercy and love to everyone should be our aim everyday. My aim fails many times.
Thank you for the call to action,
I fail too but his mercy allows me to get up and try again
Amén !!
So true that love and mercy should be our focus. God looks at the motive of our hearts when we are doing things for others.
scary at times to think God looks at my heart
Amen! Thank God for His rich and everlasting mercies. That is why we are not consumed.
AMEN!!!
Beautifully said. Keep fighting the good fight
Thank you
Obsession with it reveals something about us. That’s 100%
Our obsessions do reveal something about us.
How are you sweet daughter. Sorry for late reply it has been a crazy week.
