Message in a Bottle

He was out of work, depressed and ready to just lay down in an alley somewhere and die. Little did he know that a wealthy heiress who had long passed away would have a profound impact on his life. It was on a San Francisco beach that this man found a bottle with a piece of paper inside - a valuable piece of paper in fact. It turns out that Mr. Jack Wurm won the lottery - or so to speak - by discovering the last will and testament of Daisy Singer-Alexander, heiress to the Singer sewing machine fortune. The note read, "To avoid confusion, I leave my entire estate to the lucky person who finds this bottle and to my attorney, Barry Cohen, share and share alike." The heiress had...
thrown the bottle in the River Thames in London 12 years previous and there it floated itself into the hand of nearly penniless Jack Wurm. Mr. Wurm netted over $6,000,000 in cash and Singer stock. What could or would you do with $6,000,000? Would it be your "end all"?
Each of us is an heir and heiress to something far greater than millions of dollars - we have inherited the Treasury of Truth. Truth about our God whose power and might is none other than rich and glorious love. "My God will meet all your needs. He will meet them in keeping with his wonderful riches that come to you because you belong to Christ Jesus." Phillipians 4:19
