Owning Nothing, I Have Everything



Our hearts ache, but we always have joy.  We are poor, but we give spiritual riches to others.  We own nothing, and yet we have everything.

—2 Corinthians 6:10 (NLT)



Heavenly Father,


Thank You for giving me great hope in You—so that I can choose to live each day with joy, regardless of my circumstances, or what the world may think—and in You find everything I need.


There will always be times when my heart will ache—because of the disappointments and injustices that I experience personally, or that I may observe in the world around me. 

But You have come to give me hope, that my heart may rejoice in You—as I trust in Your sovereignty, mercy, grace and love.

Help me to remember that You have given me this hope-filled joy, so that I will always have something to give to others—as I make spiritual deposits into the lives of those around me and encourage them in their walk with You.

What joy is mine to know that though I own nothing in this world—for everything belongs to You—I have everything I need and more in Christ.


Thank You for giving me great hope in You—so that I can choose to live each day with joy, regardless of my circumstances, or what the world may think—and in You find everything I need.


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
