Do We Have More or Less Than A Begger?

When you see someone begging on the corner, what do you think? Do you laugh? Do you cry? Do you choose not to think about it? If you think about it long enough, it often leads to what they DON'T have as opposed to what you DO have. Just think, you have a house, you have more than 1 change of clothes, you have access to a computer, you have food to eat, you have a nice, comfortable bed to sleep in.

And who allows to have all of this? The government? No way! It's ALL God. He provides for us. In an instant, He could take EVERYTHING away from you. He could take your home, your car, your family, your life. But, He chooses to bless us daily. He gives us air to breath, sunshine, air conditioning in our homes, food on our table, a family, and His never ending love. Does He ever get a thank-you? Not very often.
So back to the begger on the corner. They have so little, we have so much. But, when it comes down to what really matters, could they be richer than we are? If they are washed in the Precious blood of Christ, they have all that really matters in the end. If we don't know Jesus as our personal Lord and Savior we don't have a single thing that really matters. In the end, all your earthly posessions don't matter. It doesn't matter if you drive a Porsche or ride a bicycle, Live in a mansion or in your car. Where you go when you die is what really matters. It is our job, once we have accepted Jesus, to go and help the less fortunate. We have to tell them about Jesus' love for all of us. We have to be the ones to tell them the life changing news! Who else is going to do it? Now, ask yourself this question, "How much do I really have?"
