I have inherited my Father's riches!

I got a revelation the other day I have to share! There are two kinds of "rich" people. The ones that worked their tail off, and then there are those who inherit wealth from family. Those who worked hard for what they have always tend to boast on their struggle to get the success and wealth they earned. On the other hand there are people who have had their riches handed to them, who hasn't had to, nor will have to, work a day in their lives to EARN wealth. People have an innate sense of "fairness" and those who don't earn it honestly... well... it goes against that innate sense of fairness.

Jealousy, greed, love of money... well, you might even bring it way back to the beginning of "history"... at least Biblical history! Cain slew Abel because God had found that Abel's gift to Him was "more acceptable" than Cain's gift. That made Cain angry, it was UNFAIR, Abel didn't DESERVE that "reward" of God's better favor. So, out of jealousy and hate, he slew his brother. These feelings are ingrained in human nature..

But to be honest I feel like that wealthy person who inherited wealth! I have joy unspeakable, peace through a storm that makes no sense, grace and mercy, salvation, etc. I have freely received all of Gods riches and I didn't have to lift a finger to earn it! As a matter of fact, it is all wealth I don't deserve! All I had to do was accept Him as my Father; and the riches are all inclusive in the package!

"...it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” -Ephesians 2:9
