Wealth and Poverty

What the rich have difficulty of doing, but the poor are forced by life circumstances to do, is this--surrendering one's future into the hands of God, and not on one's own personal power and resources. This is something the rich finds very difficult to understand; but the poor understands very well. This is the gift of poverty, the reason why it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of the needle than for the rich to enter the Kingdom. Still God provides the needed graces to both, enough to bring them salvation should they respond with love to God and surrender to His Will.

Capacity

When we arrived in the badlands at the moment of our birth, we found ourselves in a situation where we can only function below our potential capacities as children of God. (A quote from my new book, Got 2 Go! My Call Just Came In )
