The Wealth Within

     If a rich king were to give all his wealth to a beggar would that make him less than he was? Would the beggar be more just because he was now rich? Is it not true that the measurement of a person is not in what he has but what lies within his heart.
     If someone has a good heart and is poor, does he not have more treasure than someone who is evil and rich? If I held up in high regard only those who were materially rich, I could mistakenly be admiring a devil sitting upon his throne. One must look at the wealth within rather than just looking at the wealth on the outside.
     The rich could be poor and the poor could be rich depending on what is on the inside. The rich could be richer and the poor could be poorer depending on what is on the inside. Our true selfs is what is on the inside and our outer selfs could be something we just made up for others to see.
     In the end who will be the ones that are wearing the crown? It will not be the ones who are trying to buy their way into heaven. God will be the final judge and Jesus the door through which we can enter. They will decide who wears the crown and who will be rejected. In the end the ones who wears the crown are the ones with a heart of gold rather than just having gold. They are the ones who will be entering heaven.
