Don’t allow your Earthly Wealth to hinder you from Respecting Others
Nowadays, people are so caught up in gaining wealth that they forget to remember God’s ways. The standards of this world will tell you to acquire more money to live a successful life, but that’s very different from the way God sees things. He honors those people who know how to obey and follow Him regardless of their status in society. And that’s how God wants us to live. We need to remember that everything we receive in this world is temporary. And the only way for us to gain eternal treasures is by abiding in His ways and not the standards of this world.

Day 245 – Matthew 25:40
The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ Matthew 25:40, NIV God created every human being in this world. He loves everyone. That’s why He wants us to serve and heal each other. Whatever you do to your brothers and sisters, you also do it to God.
