Fantastic Friday #506 - Rich

Rich

16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:16-19

How do you perceive being rich? A lot of people focus first on money and belongings. I heard someone say this week that if you aren't happy already, money isn't going to make you happy, but if you are happy, money will make you a lot happier. Truly there's a problem with this statement because the riches of this world are not where true happiness lies. If you focus on this scripture, God's glorious riches are not listed in terms of money or possessions, but His Spirit. Think about how much happier you are when you focus on the indwelling Spirit in you compared to something that won't be here tomorrow. God knows that love is a true richness that we should embrace this love that God provides through His fullness. So when you think about richness, think about these things, because God can make you happy when you aren't and happier when you are.

Have a great weekend.
