Wealth Beyond Measure

"Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession." (Psalms 2:8)


These words came from the God who never lies. Who then can not believe these certain but powerful words uttered from the mouth of the Creator Himself?


What shall we do then if we already own the whole world? To the eyes of man, this thing seems to be, or at times, impossible. It is just really a matter of opening our eyes and hands.


We open our eyes to the fact that we really don't own anything because God created everything from the start, all things visible and invisible. The truth as most of the intelligent people in the world thought of is only limited to the study of economics and money-making.


How can we even see something that we are not looking at? Most people look and search for ways to get more and more properties for themselves. Yes, every human has the instinct of being selfish. If we look more to ourselves and for our own comfort, then we are not different with an infant who wants milk for itself all the time.


The best thing about this is that God wants all of us to have everything. Since He loves us so much that He gave up His most beloved Son, should He withhold Himself from giving His everything to the ones His Son has died for?


So if all of us owns everything, then no one of us should lack anything. That is why Jesus Christ told us to love one another as we love ourselves. If our fellow heir to the throne lacks something, we should share what we have for him. This is the very essence of wealth: Owning your properties doesn't determine what you really have. Your properties are the very things that you gave up so that others may enjoy their inheritance which is the same inheritance for you as well.
