“Beware, and be on your guard against every form of greed; for not even when one has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions.” (Luke 12:15)
Wealth is never a replacement for identity. You could own all the world’s possessions, and yet, those goods would never be you. In fact, many wealthy people find it quite frustrating when they realize that others no longer see them as people – they just see their money.
Who you are is not your stuff. Who you are is your soul, and no increase (or decrease) of possessions will ever alter that. Your soul needs to be cultivated, cared for, fed, and exercised because that is what matters. Be very intentional to not confuse acquisition of goods with value of person. Who you are is what matters, and that is found in your connection to God through Christ and the Christ-like character you cultivate.
