BECOME RICH

2 Corinthians 8:9 (NKJV) 9  For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich. 
   When we stumble on generosity today we often think, "What a special person to give to others," however, for the child this often comes naturally. Years ago we noticed children playing, naturally help another, one child was trying to go hand over hand hanging on the ladder bars, he was failing miserably, one child saw the struggle, grabbed the child around the waist and lifted up until he had crossed on every wrung. Oh that we would act on the impulse to help others the same way.
   God did just that for you and I, seeing our struggle with the Truth of obediently serving Him, He made The Way clear for us to follow. Jesus came and showed man that serving God is a pleasure not drudgery, living for the Creator who made us is fulfilling, not a waste of time. We are here for just a short time, then the door of Eternity opens for us to embrace, friend, if you have not prepared by trusting the Savior in your heart, you are not prepared!
God has a plan to make us rich in Him, but we must accept His offer, it must be the Lord Jesus Christ.
Heavenly Father your gift is amazing, we have every need met, every breath accounted for, every heart beat is known to You. Help us to live that You may be well pleased with your children, let those who see us see You. Amen
