Richly

"God chose the poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom, didn't he?" James 2:5.

And so he promised the kingdom to those who love him, didn't he? And so when his children become partial against one another they no longer hold the faith of the Lord Jesus, don't they? So, isn't it true that when they behave partial for or against one another due to ornaments or regalia (or the lack of these) in their gatherings, they commit sin? When God's children make distinctions among themselves, they become judges with evil thoughts, don't they? Isn't it right that when God's children elevate whom they perceive as powerful over the powerless, they honor those who insult the honorable name of the Lord? When God's children do this, they become transgressors of freedom's law, don't they? Rather: We will hold richly to the faith of our glorious Lord Jesus, we will love our neighbor as ourselves.

Visiting with a brother or sister today, we encourage one another in God's mercy to us all, whatever our worldly status. And, together, we give thanks to the Lord Jesus who became poor in order to make us rich.
