About This Quote
I can do nothing without His help. Oh, Lord, what ignorance thinking everything was wealth. These words come from the diary of a young girl who had been taught that wealth was the most important thing in life. She also believed that she was wealthy and that her possessions would provide her with happiness for all time.
One day, she realized that her possessions could not provide happiness and that her life had no purpose. She realized that the only way to find joy in life was through Christ and with Christ there was no need for anything else.
