Proverbs 22:1 A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, Loving favour rather than silver and gold.

What makes an entrepreneur successful? Is it the money backing them, the money they are willing to spend, the time and effort they are willing to spend or just what they can get out of life?

Don’t get caught up in trying to work the answer out because there is no simple answer. Each of us will work differently to reach our goals in life.

God would like us to work honestly and hard to achieve what we can rather than cheating people out of as much as possible to make the biggest profit.

Jesus was not rich in monetary terms, but He certainly was rich in God’s eyes!

Job 34:19 Yet He is not partial to princes, Nor does He regard the rich more than the poor; For they are all the work of His hands.

One of the things I find hardest to accept is that Christ loves each one of us no matter what station we are at in this world.

I struggle to accept some people in my life just because they are either so obnoxious or they are from a totally different lifestyle to me; but God does not have that problem!

God can use each one of us no matter where we are and no matter where we stand in society. I love the fact that He uses former criminals to spread His honest and abiding word!

Psalm 49:2 Both low and high, Rich and poor together.

When you want to go and tell people about God, who do you go to? Friends, relatives, strangers, rich people, poor people?

We seem to be more comfortable talking to people who fit into a stereotype at times than talking to a wide range of people. Why so?

God did not tell us to go forward and spread the Gospel message with those we feel comfortable with; he said go out into all the world!

Let go of the stereotypical listener you have in your mind and reach out to the person next to you instead!

Psalm 62:9 Surely men of low degree are a vapour, Men of high degree are a lie; If they are weighed on the scales, They are altogether lighter than vapour.

We like to think we have classes of people from the working classes through to the nobility; but in fact each one of us is a person.

Many people will not give down-and-out people a second thought or will totally ignore beggars on the street just because they look different.

We are so fickle in our world and yet Christ is able to look through that all and judge us according to what we are inside rather than the outward appearance.
