Love Jesus 13

Except from “Be Rich,” by Warren Wiersbe.

A story I heard years ago pretty well sums up what I say in this book.

An undernourished boy was found on the city street and taken to a hospital. After the nurses had bathed him and dressed him, they put him to bed and brought him his dinner tray. Conspicuous on that tray was a large glass of milk. The boy’s eyes lit up as he reached for the glass, but then he paused and, looking at the nurses, asked a question that broke their hearts:

“Can I drink all of it?”

It was obvious that back home there was never enough of anything. It makes me think of the woman who stood watching the Atlantic Ocean and said, “It sure is good to see something that there’s plenty of!”

Too many Christians are living like paupers when Christ has made us rich! Isn’t it time we stopped living on substitutes (even religious substitutes) and started drawing on the riches we have in Christ?

My friend-Be Rich!
