Un-taxable Wealth

A tax assessor came one day to a poor preacher to determine the amount of taxes 

the preacher would have to pay. The following conversation took place: "What 

property do you possess?" asked the assessor.

"I am a very wealthy man," replied the preacher.

"List your possessions, please," the assessor instructed.

The preacher said:

"First, I have everlasting life, John 3:16

Second, I have a mansion in heaven, John 14:2

Third, I have peace that passes all understanding, Philippians 4:7

Fourth, I have joy unspeakable, 1 Peter 1:8

Fifth, I have divine love which never fails, 1Corinthians 13:8

Sixth, I have a faithful, pious wife, Proverbs 31:10

Seventh, I have healthy, happy obedient children, Exodus 20:12

Eighth, I have true, loyal friends, Proverbs 18:24

Ninth, I have songs in the night, Psalms 42:8

Tenth, I have a crown of life, James 1:12

The tax assessor closed his book, and said, "Truly you are a very rich man, 

but your property is not subject to taxation."

I pray that all of us will have this kind of tax free "wealth."

Have a richly blessed day!
