Beyond Wealth: The True Value of Existence #98

Beyond Wealth: The True Value of Existence In the realm where breath transcends gold, Where existence is more than wealth untold, Humanity dances beyond the grasp Of mere riches, where shallow perceptions clasp. Life, a tapestry rich and vast, Not in the silken threads of wealth amassed, But in the essence, pure and true, Where the heart finds its resonant hue. Charity, a garment worn with grace, Yet not the core of our human race. It's the pulse, the rhythm, the living beat, Not overshadowed by wealth's deceit. What then, is this enigmatic life? Far beyond material strife, Its value etched in deeper planes, Where spirit thrives and truth remains. In gospel teachings, wisdom's seed, Grows in hearts that once seemed naive. Foolish beginnings, yet wisdom's end, Strength blossoms, and spirits ascend. Holy Spirit, not just thought or creed, But in actions, its power freed. In alignment with teachings divine, True understanding in action we find. Echoing Luke, in scripture's breath, Warns of covetousness, life's depth. Not in possessions' abundant tide, But in simpler riches, that inside reside. -Written by Steven G. Lee (January 21, 2024)
