RICH IN LOVE

RICH IN LOVE


There are ALL sorts and KINDS
Of RICHES in this world


But the ONE we should
All STRIVE for=is to be=
RICH IN LOVE


Rich in FAMILY=rich in FRIENDS=
And rich in LOVE of others
(And HOPEFULLY others to us)


“For you KNOW the gracious act
Of OUR LORD Jesus Christ


That for your sake
He became poor-
Although he was RICH-


So that by his poverty
You might BECOME RICH” 2 Corinthians 8:9


Jesus was the RICHEST man
That ever lived=the richest in LOVE
So much so
That almost EVERYONE-
KNOWS of him


RICH IN LOVE


WE would do well
To take after him=and
Be RICH in LOVE


But he was a poor man=
FINANCIALLY=the SON of a carpenter
In a working class family


RICH in LOVE=poor financially=
But HAPPY in what he was=
The SON OF GOD


We should ALL be so lucky=
And be HAPPY


“But may the RIGHTEOUS
Be glad-
And REJOICE before God

May they be HAPPY
And joyful” Psalm 68:3


“A HAPPY heart
Makes the face cheerful


But heartache-
Crushes the spirit” Proverbs 15:13


“His master replied-
'Well done-
GOOD and faithful servant


You have been FAITHFUL
In a few things


I will put you
In charge-of many things


Come and SHARE
Your master's HAPPINESS'” Matthew 25:21


I have KNOWN some rich people
In my life


I have found that wealth-by itself-
Does NOT bring happiness
Not even=winning the LOTTERY


We should STRIVE to be=
RICH IN LOVE=like Christ=
LIKE the LORD Our God


“The Lord is GRACIOUS=
And COMPASSIONATE


Slow to anger-and
RICH IN LOVE” Psalm 145:8


“I know your afflictions
And your poverty


Yet you are RICH” Revelation 2:9


We DON'T NEED the lottery-
We are “RICH” because
Of the LOVE of God and CHRIST


We just NEED
To DO our part


ENRICH our spirit
Be rich in KINDNESS-
And GENEROUS to others


And “SPREAD THE WEALTH”
Of our DEEP and RICH FAITH


Dear Lord=You became POOR=
For our sake


Help us-to SPREAD our wealth=
BOTH spiritual and worldly-
To others in NEED


In the NAME of Jesus our LORD
