A "message" from Message - A Christian's Possessions
A tax assessor came one day to a poor Christian to determine the
amount of
taxes he would have to pay.
The following
conversation took place:
"What property do you possess?" asked the
assessor.
"I am a very wealthy man," replied the Christian.
"List
your possessions, please," the assessor
instructed.
The Christian said:
"First, I have
everlasting life,
John
3:16
Second, I have a mansion in heaven,
John
14:2
Third, I have peace that passes all
understanding,
Philippians
4:7
Fourth, I have joy unspeakable,
1 Peter
1:8
Fifth, I have divine love which never
fails,
1 Corinthians 13:8
Sixth, I have a faithful
wife,
Proverbs
31:10
Seventh, I have healthy, happy obedient
children,
Exodus
20:12
Eighth, I have true, loyal friends,
Proverbs
18:24
Ninth, I have songs in the night,
Psalms
42:8
Tenth, I have a crown of life,
James
1:12"
The tax assessor closed his book, and
said,
"Truly you are a very rich man, but your property is not subject
to taxation."
I pray that all of us will have this kind of tax free
"wealth."
This is what it means to be
rich.......
Rich with the blessings of our Almighty God.
Blessed be His
name forever. Amen!
