"There's one thing left: Go sell whatever you own and give it to the poor. All your wealth will then be heavenly wealth. And come follow Me."
The man's face clouded over, as this was the last thing he expected to hear. Suddenly, he had an idea.
“But Teacher, what if we try this: I’ll stay here with the way things are, I’ll keep all my stuff, and I’ll tell people it’s a blessing from You! It’s a win-win for both of us—I get to maintain my lifestyle, and You end up looking good! What do You think?”
That's from here via here.

Thanks for stopping by :)

Brilliant. My pastor just preached on a similar idea. He said, "just because you have something doesn't mean it was a blessing from God".
