Bless Be The Poor

If God wills it, it will be done.  Today we hear how sad a man was that found out that he had to sell all he had to enter the kingdom of heaven.  

What do you think of when Jesus said that you must sell all that you have and follow Him to enter the kingdom?

What if you already have nothing?

Jesus goes to the heart when He asks this question.  

We need to realize that our disposition or our intention and the manner in which we gain riches is the mark to judge by. 

Now go one step more.  "Blessed are the poor in Spirit" how about selling off anger, pride, deception, lust and the host of other possessions we have.  

Leave them all on the altar. 

Jesus, may I always be little and poor.
