Matthew 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
How do you measure your life? Do you look at your bank balance or your belongings or your family or your location?
We each look at our lives in different ways and we compare our lives with others – that is just normal.
God does not make comparisons based on earthly riches, ways or thinking but looks for what we actually need in our lives.
He examines us spiritually and sees where we are lacking. He examines us for the riches we are to get in Heaven and points us in the right direction.
If we focus on the world we die to the world. If we focus on God we live with Him.
