Emotional Poverty

Emotional wealth is the storing up of positive, loving, fun and encouraging experiences.
Emotional poverty is not only the absence of positive experience but the present of negative experiences. It is like the negative experiences rob us of our positive experiences.
How many of us are emotionally poor? Not just, I don't have any cash in my back pocket poor, but I am living in a cardboard box kind of emotionally poor?
So how do we get out of poverty? How do we go from emotional rags to emotional wealth?
We need to accept that God- the one who created the whole world- this God who was before time and who will be after time ends- this God sees you. This God not only sees you but loves you. Not only doesn he see the most shameful acts you ever committed, the most humilating experiences you ever had, the most selfish impulses you every fulfilled, not only does he see it he sees you and he loves you. He has come to make your emotional overdrawn bank balanced. He has put a deposit in your bank that you only need to acknowledge to redeem. He has a storehouse of emotional riches for you and guess who are the keepers of the storehouse- our brothers!
