How do you define wealth? Is it the balance in your bank account or the type of car in your driveway? True richness is not measured in currency, but in experience, compassion, forgiveness and faith. True richness comes from your relationship with God. If you don’t feel wealthy, list the many priceless blessings you have that money can’t buy.
Heavenly Father, Your life-giving truths fill my heart with peace.
