How wealthy do you feel today?
Hopefully, very wealthy! If not, you should. God has blessed you with riches untold to enjoy and experience everyday.
Wealth with meaning doesn’t have anything to do with how much money you have. People with millions of dollars can still feel poor, like they don’t have enough. And people with no money can feel blessed beyond belief because their life is so overflowing with love, joy and happiness.
So it’s enlightening to understand that wealth is not a quantity. It’s a quality. It’s the blessings of divine love flowing freely abundantly through your being as a child of God.
As a divine offspring, you’ve already inherited the greatest riches one could ever have. You are loved, cared for, protected, directed and guided everyday by your Father-Mother. God is constantly watching out for you and giving you everything you need to prosper and succeed.
There is a role you play though. It’s called gratitude! Gratitude is absolutely essential to keep our mind open to the wealth God has put in front of us.
If we’re not grateful, we’re ungrateful. It’s as simple as that, really. And ingratitude is poverty, lack, emptiness. It turns its back to God, blames God for suffering and wallows in self-pity, woe-me thinking, and complaint. Not a good mental place to be!
Don’t live in poverty! Live in wealth. Live richly and abundantly. Be grateful!
God blesses you with infinite capacity to be productive, profitably engaged, expressing wisdom, intelligence, creativity, flexibility, talent, skill, capacity, ability, worth, value and much more.
Acknowledge your God-given talents. Honor God’s on-going capacity to make good happen for you and everyone.
Never agree with lack. Never sink into ingratitude. Never feel sorry for yourself—for mortal mind!
Honor God’s allness and goodness by looking for it, seeing it and praising it.
Be conscious of the wealth you already possess. There is no greater. You’ve got it all. Gratitude helps you see it and experience it.
Happy day…
Just what I needed this morning – thanks so much!! It’s easy to get in a “rut”, especially when paying bills! But this message says it all and I’m printing it out to remind myself just how grateful I am for all the good in my life!!

You are so right, Evan – thanks!
“Wealth is a quality”—-what a concept. One that we can share with everyone that comes into our experience.
“If we’re not grateful, we’re ungrateful.” Love this. Thanks for pointing this out!
I love this. I’ve been working a lot with the idea of the kingdom of heaven being within you — sort of a permanent state of mind that doesn’t entertain a single erroneous thought — and connecting it to the line from this week’s Lesson about Jesus beholding the perfect man where everybody else saw sinning mortals. This feels like the same train of thought.
