Let me be honest.
I grew up believing God didn’t create everyone to be wealthy.
That wealth was “for certain people.”
So I didn’t reject wealth…
I just never expected it.
But Scripture says:
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places in Christ.” — Epistle to the Ephesians 1:3
In Christ, I am not lacking.
I am already blessed.
And it also says:
“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.” — 3 John 1:2
Prosperity is not greed.
It is wholeness.
It is provision with purpose.
Yes — the love of money is dangerous (1 Timothy 6:10).
But where does Scripture command us to glorify lack?
Some of us were conditioned not to expect increase.
And that mindset shows up everywhere:
• In how we pray
• In how we plan
• In how we invest
• Even in how we carry ourselves
Modesty is not mediocrity.
Holiness is not poverty.
Stewardship honors God.
Let’s have an honest conversation:
Did your upbringing shape your expectations about wealth?
