When he was asked what his super power was;

"I am Rich" he responded with a low, firm but nonchalant voice.

The enquirer is a very young, impressionable member of the league he was forming to defeat the menace that threatens the existence of their world.

But I held on to that statement, that quiet offhand response and studied some more on it.

You see, his super powers are numerous.

But what he considered the most important of his amazing abilities is his capacity to make almost anything happen.

Anything that requires finances at least, and just because he can.🤷🏽‍♀️

He buttressed this point when, the Bank took over the mortgaged home, of the mother of one of his most powerful league members.

He went to the Bank, and got the home back for his friends mum, and when he was asked how he did it, he simply responded;

"I bought the Bank."

He didn't do that because he wants to impress anyone of them.

He did this because his heart is a compassionate one and he wants to alleviate a position of lack for a friend.

Some friends will still buy the same Bank and only effect the renewal of the existing mortgage, so the pay down can commence once again.

He, oh, he simply wrote off the loan.

I mean the woman is old and the said friend, who is the woman's son, is a selfless soul who had once given his life
for the world as a hero. Meanwhile he will do this all over again and again.

Somewhere in Delta State, I witnessed a group of friends come to the burial of their friends father;

They came in to the venue, a large field space, with two powerful machines on a flat loader.

You see this man, their said friend, he had sold everything to keep his father alive and the friends had also contributed funds for him.

But the father, he died anyways.

To ease his pains of haven lost almost everything, except the house he lived in.

The friends, they simply contributed amongst themselves and replaced the cars he sold with two brand new ones.

*****
I remember a group of friends were putting together a take over strategy of a world power.

At some point, it required all of them to be on a 17 hours flight to effect the most important part of their strategy.

The richest amongst them simply bought the only Airline that goes to the Country, "it's neater that way" , he said.

This allowed everyone one of them to seat in first class and execute their plans with ease through the whole flight.

A prevaricate, but just stressing a capacity position and what a large heart can do to make ease.

Some rich and affluent only want to show off their wealth to the world, but not ever use it to touch anyone.

They think just having the wealth to themselves is the ultimate.

Their heart is small.

It can only accommodate their personal comfort and that of no one else.

So who are your friends?

Do you study their heart?

Are they compassionate souls?

How do they treat other people?

How do they treat the underserved around them?

Hold on to your friends with obessed hearts, they are rarerities of life.

Carefully grow and maintain a circle with genuine compassion for another human as their driving force.

When you have friends with over large hearts, you have solved the first level of life problems.

When these friends are blessed richly by God, you all have solved the second level of life problems.

Do you know how many people have lost their loved ones because they did not consider the hearts of their circle of friends as important.

So many men and women have been financially ruined with just a wave of sickness that wiped their entire life savings.

While their friends, who could have softened the impact watched from a distance, claiming to have nothing to spare.

When these loved ones dies, after you have been drained of all your finances.

Guess what, they will come out to the burial and make a big show of affluence for you to see that they could have helped you all along, but just didn't, because their hearts is just not large enough.

Who are your life friends?

Can your life friends rally and cover your shame?

Can you call on them in times of hardship?

Will your friends contribute for surgery for your loved ones?

Life is not absolute, we have seen this over and over again.

So as you progress in life, carefully grow a circle of friends who will always be there for you and your family.

The heart matters.

The size of the heart matters the most.
