A Startling Statistic

"For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich." - 2 CORINTHIANS 8:9
What we consider as riches tells a lot about us. A friend visited Mother Teresa’s House for the Dying in Calcutta. She asked a helper, “How do you stand doing this day after day?” The woman pointed to a portrait of Jesus, with the caption, My Lord and my God. “He is not only my Lord and my God, but He has given me the privilege to be here His hands, eyes, mind and feet. I count it a privilege,” The woman said. The little lady ministering to Calcutta’s dying was more joyful in her wealth of opportunity than moguls in their mammon.
