Do you have money? Everyone wants to. Do you find that people are treated differently depending on whether they have money or not? Do you do this? An objective reading of the Bible would suggest that it is better not to have money, for the poor are rich in faith, and how hard it is for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God, harder than for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle.

God’s perfect love is the greatest power in the universe! It is what everyone is really looking for – unconditional, unfailing and unlimited love.  And it is readily available to us, where we can be filling our hearts with it anytime, anyplace by letting Jesus love on us through two-way conversation with Him.  His perfect love will bring healing to our hearts and set us free to reach our God-given calling as nothing else can.

Have you heard of anything that backfired? Weapons can be dangerous to the user as well as the intended target but now this term commonly refers to a plan or action. Have you seen this happen with sarcasm, ridicule and contempt? The one who speaks in this manner intends the blow to land on his victim, but it says nothing about the person it is directed against and everything about the one who speaks it. For the words you speak are a reflection of your own character, not of anyone else’s.

Should this be considered more as flesh and blood revealing or my Father? Yet you know from the story and intuitively that the latter is better.
