Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. — Matthew 5:3
We have our treasure in earthen vessels — clay pots. If we fill our clay pots with clay, how much room is there for treasure? The poor in spirit empty out the clay. Ceramics look nice, but who wants clay when you can have gold, silver and precious stones?
Those who have the least to offer God have the most to gain. It’s not the quantity that God cares about, it’s the percentage. Jesus asked the rich young ruler for everything he had because that was the only way He could get all of him. That’s the mystery of the children of God: When we no longer “own” anything we possess everything.
