Being Rich

I dont want fame or fortune, i dont want money or wealth. I just thank father God, that i have him and my health. To have a vast fortune would sadden me you see, to be rich beyond compare, would make me loose sight of the one true treasuer in my life. That is to know my lord jesus christ. Being rich makes you blind, being rich keeps you in a bind. So i say thank you, but not for me. Jesus is enough for me.

Bravo, John! There is no life without faith, regardless of how much money or fame one acquires. Very direct and to the point. Intuitive writing!
