Poor People Hoard, Rich People Give and Receive

 poor people hoard, rich people give and receive

How do you define wealth?
Is it based on material possessions?
Is it based on one’s bank account and real estate properties?

Such is the way we define wealth
that we label those who possess more of those things rich
while those who have little of those things poor.

Hence, the prophets and seers are poor
the saints are poor
Jesus is poor
Mother Teresa was poor

Yet are they?

I’ve realized they weren’t poor at all,
they are rich!

They are rich because they lack nothing
and have everything they need.
Whenever they desire to give something,
they pray
and they know that they are heard.
They don’t need to carry with them
a lot of money all the time
because they know
that they will have what they need
just in time.
It will be provided
one way or the other.

They don’t need to hoard a lot of wealth
because they are not afraid,
because their powers are not based
on material things.

Power to summon all things just when you need them,
to draw upon the great heavenly bank
which never goes bankrupt nor insolvent.
What more power could be greater?
What wealth could be greater?

Poor people hoard.
They acquire as many material possessions
as they could because they are afraid
they would later on run out of blessings.

The truly rich ones give endlessly
and receive endlessly.
They lack nothing
and always have everything they need!
