Default Tax - Exempt


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, 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, 1 Corinthians 13:8

Sixth, I have a faithful 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!
