TRUE RICHES

A tax assessor came one day to a poor minister of the gospel to determine the amount of taxes he would have to pay. "What do you possess?" he questioned.

"Oh, I am very wealthy," replied the minister. "List your possessions, please," the assessor instructed.

The man of God replied, "First, I have everlasting life—John 3:16. Second, I have a mansion in Heaven—John 14:2. Thirdly, I have peace that passeth understanding— Phil 4:7. Fourth, I have joy unspeakable—1 Peter 1:8. Fifth, I have divine love that never faileth— 1 Cor 13:8. Sixth, I have a faithful, pious wife—Prov 31:10. Seventh, I have healthy, happy, obedient children—Ex 20:12. Eighth, I have true, loyal friends—Prov 18:24. Ninth, I have songs in the night—Ps 42:8. Tenth, I have a crown of life awaiting—James 1:12."

The tax collector closed his book and said, "Truly, you are a very rich man, but your property is not subject to taxation."
