Having nothing, yet possessing everything – Thomas Brooks

True grace will enable a soul to sit down satisfied and contented with the naked enjoyments of Christ. The enjoyment of Christ without honor will satisfy the soul. The enjoyment of Christ without riches, the enjoyment of Christ without pleasures, and without the smiles of creatures will content and satisfy the soul.

It is enough Joseph is alive!‘ (Gen. 45:28) So says a gracious soul, though honor is not, and riches are not, and health is not, and friends are not it is enough that Christ is, that He reigns, conquers, and triumphs!

Christ is a bottomless ocean of all contentment, comfort and satisfaction. He who has Him lacks nothing. He who lacks him enjoys nothing. “Having nothing, yet possessing everything.” 2 Corinthians 6:10
