I WON THE LOTTO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I won the lottery, and I won B I G. I didn’t just win the Lotto, I won the Powerball. That is God’s Powerball. When I accepted Christ I had no idea that I was becoming one of the richest women in the world. My fortune, now, is so incalculable that I still don’t have a clear knowledge of how much I do really have. Before I owed, now I own.

What do I own? What is my fortune? I own a Brother and a Father, the Son of Man and the Son of God; I own a life that will go through eternity; I own a love that cannot be quenched, the more it’s given the more it’s filled forever and ever; I own forgiveness including my own; death and hell cannot hold me down, I own an open heart; I own a genuine desire to know people instead of the previous desire to not be bothered with them; I see God in His created beings and His love for people compels me towards them; I own the possibility/ability to heal and to raise the dead; I own the possibility/ability to see and perform wonders and miracles; I own joy that cannot be counted; I own a richness of feelings and happiness and unknown sentiments that bring me much more peace and this feeling (hasn’t been named yet) is not just grace not just joy, it’s more than peace, so whatever the name is for this safe and mature feeling a happy assurance, I own that, but all because I am a Christian. And this is the richness that excels any worldly lottery premium even all of the premiums in the world combined.

If you ever realize you won the G-Powerball, you will cry in thankfulness…maybe you will see a tree and be taken with it’s simple beauty and practical purpose…that God created. Or driving home from work suddenly you’ll be so aware of everyday “gifts” like a black bird crossing the view of your windshield or a flower being blown by the wind… that He created. The sky when it is a certain navy-blue-marine hue right around 7:45 pm my favorite color for skies, I see it and appreciate it deeply…that which God created for us, and though many barely notice, I do and appreciate it, so I say to God: I see it God, it is simply breath taking and totally
B - E - A - U - T - I - F - U – L, thank you!

His beautiful and simple things render me to tears. When He created them He smiled and said that it was good…the Bible does not say of anyone else, at that moment, saying: Oh it is beautiful God, the earth, this thing called man, the other thing called woman, all this clouds and the separation you made between the waters of above and the ones of below it is just stunning! I wish I was there to do it. So now that I won the G-Powerball and don’t have to run like a maniac after the things of the world, I have my eyes and my time to appreciate His things and the things I own through Him. I am rich thanks be to Him.
