Jesus is better to us than He was to Himself!  “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head” (Matthew 8:20). Jesus never owned a home, He never had a wife or children, and it seems the only material thing He owned was His clothes.
Jesus said that it was enough that a disciple be like his master (Matthew 10:25), and Paul said, “Having food and clothing, with these we shall be content” (1 Timothy 6:8). Yet look at all that Jesus has given us besides that! All the rest are extras.
To Jesus, our happiness is worth more than money. He’s willing to let us have almost anything we want as long as it’s good for us. Look how Jesus tries to make it easy for us. As long as we delight ourselves in Him, He gives us the desires of our hearts (Psalm 37:4).
