Are You Rich?

Is it possible to be rich and not know it? That would be sad, wouldn’t it? Let me introduce you to Jane, a woman born with a silver spoon in her mouth and a billion dollars in the bank.

Every day Jane orders more stuff to make her happy. Monday she ordered a diamond ring and bracelet. Tuesday, a bigger swimming pool. Wednesday, 5 new cars. And Thursday, 1000 pairs of shoes.

But Jane isn’t happy. She’s been locked up in a mansion with servants to wait on her all her life and she has no one to compare her life to. She only knows she wants what she can’t have! And that is – out of the mansion!

Poor Jane. She’s rich, but she doesn’t know it…. If you’re talking about money, that is!

But is she really rich? Does having lots of money make you rich? One definition of rich is “abundantly supplied with resources”.

Jane has money and lots of possessions, but she doesn’t have contentment. She doesn’t have the resources she needs to be happy or content. In spite of all her money, she is miserable.

To be content means “to be satisfied with what one is or has and not wanting more or anything else.” Hmmmmm. 

What is our abundant supply of resources?

It is Christ. He is the Bread of Life. He is the Living Water. He is the source of all we need.

No matter what problems we face, He is our wisdom.

No matter what battle we fight, He is our Defender.

No matter what sadness we face, He is our Comforter.

No matter what fears we have, He is our Refuge and our Fortress.

If you have a relationship with Jesus Christ, you are rich because you have all the resources you need to have a life of peace, joy, and contentment.

Are you rich, but you didn’t know it? Thank God for all you have every day, and find a way to help others who have less. Soon you will realize you have been rich for a long time. You just didn’t know it!

With Love, 

This is My Journey Unscripted.
