God’s Rich Love For Us

---

“Sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything” 2 Corinthians 6:10

Pastor Anthony Zibolski gave the following illustration in a sermon titled: “Sharing God’s Amazing Grace”:
“If you were to look at a dog’s diary, it would be different than a cat. The dog’s diary for a day would read something like this;
Went outside today and played with my master- My favourite thing.
Went inside and had a delicious bone, my favourite thing.
Took a good long nap- my favourite.
The cat’s diary would look a little different;
Woke up today – 948 days in captivity.
Looked outside but found nothing of interest.
Just lying here with nothing better to do.
Hope no one bothers me.
The difference is how you look at things and what you put value to.”

We are made rich when we love Jesus and follow Him. Praise the Lord that His love for us has made us rich.

“Listen, my dear brothers: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him?” James 2:5
