The Rich Young Man

The Rich Young Man - Alexandre Bida Go on and say it. Why would you call him good? Perhaps he is as you say, a teacher filled with goodness. But he is much more. He is waiting for you to proclaim to the crowd that he is as you have stated good, and only God is good. Go on and say it. He does not need to make the proclamation, you do. The crowds need to hear this from your mouth. You need to witness for others, as well as yourself. You need to answer the question, who do they say that I am? Go on and do as he says. But instead, you lower your head in sadness. The fibers of the world and its riches have woven their way into the soul and embrace your heart. He looks upon you with love, even though you cannot love him more than your wealth. copyright 2026 - Donald P James Jr https://www.amazon.com/stores/Donald-P.-James-Jr./author https://www.goodreads.com

The Eye of the Needle

It is Easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle  than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God Mark 10:25 Luke 18:25 Good teacher what must I do...? Have I succeeded along this road at any time? Have I followed your footsteps for just a moment along a beach? Have I been weary and turned to you without condition? Good teacher what must I do...? I have not taken a life. I have been faithful to my spouse. I have asked pardon for my offenses. Good teacher what must I do...? How do I give all that I've earned? How do I embrace a poverty I've never known? How am I to lay down my life for other? Good teacher what must I do...? I am the young man whose face has fallen. I am the young man who turns away saddened. Still, Good teacher, I am a child who seeks to pass through the eye of a needle. copyright 2024- Donald P James Jr https://www.amazon.com/stores/Donald-P.-James-Jr./author
