“A stingy man is eager to get rich and is unaware that poverty awaits him.” It is so easy, especially in a culture such as America, to remember that godliness, not wealth or possessions, is what truly matters. When we die, we will not be judged by our wealth and status, but whether or not we were following after the Lord with our whole hearts and treating our fellow human beings with compassion. When we reach eternity, our earthly possessions will mean nothing –they do not come with us. So, do not place too much importance on earthly treasures –instead, “store up for yourselves treasure in Heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
