True Wealth

It is so common today to think of someone with plenty of money to be what we categorize as "wealthy". But let's think on this for a minute. How many wealthy people have you heard of, as millionaires, politicians, movies stars, and even athletic "heroes", go through the same things that we go through? They get divorced, they have drug issues, they have conflicts just as everyone else does. So then what would true wealth be? They have the money and the fame, but how few find real genuine joy? How few are truly happy? How few are set for eternity? I believe that true wealth is not having so much money you can't count it all. Though there is nothing wrong with having money. The bible tells us that it is the love of money that is the root of all evil, not the money itself. So our attitude means a lot. If we search the Word of God we can find the answer. "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" Matthew 11:28. What does Jesus mean by "heavy laden"? Or what about labour? Or rest? Firstly, the word labour is the greek word "kop-ee-ah-o" meaning to toil,be wearied, to feel fatigue. Anyone feel fatigued lately? the next word is "for-tid'-zo" which is heavy burden and the meaning is overburdened, spiritual anxiety. How about anxiety, has anyone suffered in overburdening yourselves? Now the last word rest the greek word speaks of being at ease or inthe nutshell , exempt. Exempt from what, you might ask? Well he was speaking of being worn from toiling and working, overburdening ourselves and then speaks about a rest or and exemption from these toils and worries. The next scripture vs :29 says "Take my yoke upon you and learn of me, for I am meek and lowly inheart, and ye shall find rest for your souls. vs :30 for my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Jesus wants to take our burden. When we give our hearts to God and truly get "saved", I mean truly repent of your sins and come clean before our maker. Then Jesus will take your worry and give you joy. He will take your burden and give you rest. Jesus came to unite the creation back to the creator. He came to put away sin. If we will search in the scripture and seek God in with our heart we will find what true, genuine wealth is. I pray these few words from a fellow servant of God blesses you, and I ask that you leave a comment or a prayer request. Be Blessed in the Lord. Thanks
