     What I got today from Jesus is: Having nothing, yet possessing everything

    What I received from Jesus today is something seemingly impossible. How can someone be sorrowful, yet always rejoicing? How can someone poor , yet making many rich? How can someone having nothing, yet possessing everything?

    If anyone can do that, then there won't be anyone on earth worry if he can have enough money to retire? There won't be anyone in depression because that are always sorrowful, thinking they can not be rich and always want to possess something, and something more!

    Yet, in Paul, it happened! And, as Paul says in this passage, for those who are really in Christ, it will happen!

    Is this kind of joyful life happening to you now? What do you lack to let that to happen? 

Dear Lord Jesus,

I know it is only you can let that to happen. Be with us so that we can experience what Paul says and that we can be a true witness of your power.   In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
