Sell All You Have
Jesus said to a rich man; "Sell everything you have
and give the money to the poor."
That is if he wanted to get into God's kingdom, but the man walked away - losing his fortune was too much to endure.

Do you think the same thing applies
to us these days or not?
Or was what Jesus said just a figure of speech
about what we have got?

I know I couldn't sell everything I have
and do as Jesus said.
Even though I know our money will do us no good
when we are dead.

I would imagine very few people would
do that - very few, probably none.
That is something to ponder on very seriously
or just for fun.

God knows what we do and
He knows all about our wealth.
And He also knows everything about the day we die
and all about our health.
