A tax assessor came one day to a poor Christian to determine the amount of taxes he 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 Christian.
"List your possessions, please," the assessor instructed.
The Christian said:
"First, I have everlasting life
Second, I have a mansion in heaven
Third, I have peace that passes all understanding
Fourth, I have joy unspeakable
Fifth, I have divine love which never fails
Sixth, I have a faithful wife
Seventh, I have healthy, happy obedient children
Eighth, I have true, loyal friends
Ninth, I have songs in the night
Tenth, I have a crown of life
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."
