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
