I had rather be poor for Thee than rich without Thee. -  THOMAS À KEMPIS

The world tells us we are rich if we look good, have lots of stuff, and run in the right circles. Jesus tells us we are rich if we have Him, period.

Give me the poverty of Christ over the wealth of the world.  Christ’s poverty brings peace, and joy, and love. It shows mercy, gives strength, and showers grace in the face of uncertainty. Yes, I would rather be poor with Christ than go through this life without Him.

Jesus, I trust in you.
