"Once when Jesus' mother and brothers came to see Him,
they couldn't get into the house where He was teaching, because of the crowds.
When Jesus heard they were standing outside and wanted to see Him,
He remarked,
"My mother and my brothers are those who hear the message of God and obey it."    
~~ Luke 8:19 - 21

Bible Commentary:   Jesus' true relatives are those who hear and obey His words. Hearing without obeying is not enough. As Jesus loved His mother, so He loves each of us. He offers us an intimate relationship with Him. Jesus was saying those who belong to God's family by spiritual birth are closer to Him than those related to Him by natural birth.

If you or I were related to Bill Gates, part of what we would probably expect is to be welcome to a portion of his vast fortune.
 
Congratulations, we are part of God's family, and He is richer by far. He wants us to take part in His spiritual wealth:  the kind that can't be touched by inflation, deflation; floods, illness, nor even death.
 
Today is a good day to enjoy His riches and Kingdom: peace, joy, love, kindness, goodness, grace and mercy.........no matter what else might be happening in your life!
