No IRS in Heaven

TAXES
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, Phillipians 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!
