I became poor in my life not so long ago and prayed. I read the bible until the pages were red with blood. I asked for and received understanding. I received a bed with family 2000 miles from all possessions I owned.

It was a sobering experience. I now understand. My life is completely different due to my trust of GOD. My Family gave me a place to sleep. All possessions were lost.

I have a big heart and more than I ever had. It was 7 years.

Your story exemplifies God’s mercy on the poor in spirit. It sounds as though you had lost a job and a home and someone gave you a place to lay your head.

Blessed be God!

Even Jesus didn’t have a pillow to lay his head on!

Another thing I was just thinking of is Christ always comparing the rich to the poor and saying “Blessed are the poor for they shall inherit the earth.”

The first shall be last and the last shall be first.

There are many such examples.
