the spirit of God is the greatest blessing

money is not everything

money is a good tool, but poor compass

on the cross, Jesus became poor so that we live in abundance

Jesus endured the sufferings of our shame so that we might share His glory and His honor

when we feel rejected, we always feel others looking in

others can come in, but not us.. not feeling welcome

Matt 27 46

Jesus didn't die just from torture of crucifixion, but also from the broken heart

   for the 1st time, God the Father turned His face away from Jesus

      Jesus took our sin... result of sin is death, eternal separation from God

at tt moment, the veil in the temple was torn into 2, from top to bottom.. meaning that there is nothing standing in between human and God 

eph 1

in Christ, there is no more rejection, only acceptance

   we are now accepted as sons and daughters of God
