Greed

SUMMARY: Jesus taught that the quality of life does not depend on possessions, but many of us still believe that not having everything we want is a true cause of unhappiness. The problem is when all our goals are focused on achieving a certain economic status and it consumes all our time and strength. It is important to find a balance that allows us to live a better life without falling into excess or overvaluation of the material or economic. Spiritual wisdom and self-control to make wise decisions are treasures that contribute much more to our existence than material goods. We were created for God, and the only thing that fills our hearts is a deep relationship with Him.
