If you have God and family, you are rich!

Pastor Gerrit Mes; from the pulpit.

Life is so unfair! For some people everything goes right all the time. Everything they touch turns to gold. Many others have a very different lot in life. It is almost as if, from the cradle to the grave, it is one long uphill struggle.

Through the years I also have fallen in the trap of believing that life is so unfair.

But, on closer inspection, I have realised that some of the people that I thought had it all, didn’t have it all. Yes, they have the cars, the houses, the extra cash. They seem to be so happy. Then I look at my circumstances. It is not that things are bad, but it could be a lot better.

Then I realised that happiness can be false and prosperity a vapour.

Happiness, built on what we have or what we have achieved, is not true happiness.

True happiness is when we have peace with God and a good relationship with our family. Money cannot buy or replace God and family.

Psalm 68:6, “God sets the lonely in families.”

If you have God and family, you are rich!
