I ain't got nothing, but you need it too

How about that grammar? Perhaps my professors are right. I am no scholar and my poor writing is only eclipsed my speech.

But there is a truth in those humble words. I ain't got nothing. I sat this morning writing out bills. Looking at my finances and taking stock of all that surrounds me. My determination. I have very little of real worldly value. **enter depressing thought here**

But here is the deal, there was no depressing thought. I have a wife who I believe loves me no matter what. I have a son to carry on my name. I have a daughter who will raise her own kids with lessons I imparted. I have food and clothes enough to manage and I warm bed to sleep in. I am provided for by my Lord.

Here is the point. Nothing of worldly value here should depress us. God provides for us what we need and all the other has no value. Our true value lies in heaven with Jesus. Because our personal relationship with him is what is most important and HE is located in heaven. Where he prepares for us a place (and a place with him is the only thing of value I want).

My father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? John 14:2

See there is plenty of room. So tell a friend of the value you have in Jesus and share that value with everyone.
