In God’s kingdom, money, power, and status don’t define who we are. The world may divide people into rich or poor, high or low, but God looks at the heart. Whether we have a lot or a little, each of us is loved and valued the same. God knows what we need and promises to take care of us.

Chasing after wealth can leave us tired, anxious, and empty. True peace comes when we trust God, live simply, and care for others. We don’t need to show off or prove anything—our Father owns everything, and we belong to Him. If we have more than we need, we’re called to bless others and not just store things up for ourselves.

The church can be a place where everyone is treated with love and respect, no matter how much they have. We don’t want to judge based on clothes, income, or background. Instead, we want to be a family that welcomes everyone, shares what we have, and helps those in need. This is how we live out God’s heart in a world that often gets it wrong.
