Priceless Moments....

All of us have our personal experience of priceless moments.

Let me humbly with the help of the Holy Spirit share mine….

My most priceless moments were during my days of emptiness…when I lost everything that is of this world in life. It is when I have nothing, I have everything! It is during these times that I discovered how much my Saviour Jesus loved me.

I never knew the value of true riches until I have nothing because through emptiness I beheld the abundance of my heavenly Father in Christ Jesus my Saviour.

I never understood meekness until I have nothing because when you have nothing, you have nothing to be arrogant of.

I never knew how to trust in God for anything until I have nothing because when I have nothing, I experience daily miracles of God’s provision and providence.

I could never fathom God’s amazing agape love until I have nothing because His daily miracles display His great love for me.

It is when I have nothing; I witness and sample the riches and richness of God. The riches that are of this world have blinded me of God’s awesome goodness. How could I ever thank my merciful Almighty God for what he has shown me through my days of emptiness? Each day of those days of emptiness were filled with days of priceless moments, experiencing the fullness of God’s goodness.

Lord, don't let me look at worthless things. Help me live your way. Psalm 119:37

Nullity is terrifying, scary and distressing; it sure is because it’s a deception planted in us by the evil one. When we place our trust in our Creator, Father who alone loves us then his peace will console us. God uses the story of the Israelites leaving Egypt in the Book of Exodus to demonstrate to us about severing relationships and dependence of the world to teach us to trust in him alone. It is only when I have nothing; when God empty my earthly life of my dependence of the world that He taught me to learn to trust Him for everything.

Ruminate the entire earthly life of God’s only begotten son, our Saviour Jesus who lived his earthly life totally dependant of the power of the Holy Spirit. Our Lord possesses nothing yet He gave us God’s richest gift to us- God’s unfailing love in our Saviour Jesus! Consider Jesus who has nothing feeding 5,000 mouths, healing the sick, teaches and preaches God’s law without asking for a fee and finally dying for us at the cross to reconcile us to our heavenly Father by paying our price of salvation with his blood. These are priceless moments!

Consider what Paul says in 2 Corinthians 6:10, We are sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; we are poor, yet making many rich; we have nothing, and yet possessing everything.

It’s impossible to comprehend the abundance of God’s richest; not until you live through emptiness. It’s beyond the wisdom of men to comprehend the foolishness of God that when you have nothing, you have everything!
