The man’s riches were an anchor dragging down his soul, and because he was very rich, the anchor was very heavy. . . Jesus’ purpose wasn’t to make the man sad; but he could only be happy by doing what Jesus told him to do.
FATHER, I see the truth here, that we can only know real joy in doing what You desire for us to do, to love You and surrender all that we have, all that we are – to You. It means trusting You completely – even when faced with trials and hardships – knowing that Your love and grace are greater and more to be desired than anything this world could possibly offer. It means letting go of whatever we are holding on to and falling into Your loving embrace, where there is peace and an abundance of unspeakable joy.
