The Beggar and The King

Beggars, Princes, & Fairy Tales
A king adopts a beggar child, takes him into his mansion and says all this is yours. The child takes the candlesticks and jewels and puts them in his pocket. He takes the paintings down, puts them in a bag. The child still has the mind and heart of a beggar. He doesn't really believe he's rich, adopted or loved. As long as he clings to it, he's not. If we're clinging to money, that means we're really not rich. If we're clinging to possessions, that means we really don't have much. If we're clinging to the love of people, then it means we really don't have love. If we're clinging to anything in the world, it means we really don't have much in heaven. You're a child of God if you're born again. You're a child of the king. Whatever He has is yours. He has gladly, freely, given you the kingdom and all His blessings. You don't have to cling to things anymore. If you're His child, you're rich. Receive it, and stop clinging. Let go and be blessed. In God, you're no longer a beggar. You're a child of the King.

Today's Mission
Give to those in need and help the ones who have lost hope; love those who need to see, and feel God's love. Doing these things, we store up heavenly treasures and His blessings.

Luke 12:32
32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
“What I’m trying to do here is get you to relax, not be so preoccupied with getting so you can respond to God’s giving. People who don’t know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Steep yourself in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. You’ll find all your everyday human concerns will be met. Don’t be afraid of missing out. You’re my dearest friends! The Father wants to give you the very kingdom itself.

Have a blessed day and weekend.
