Truly Rich - Boaz

Some people make a lot of money, but they spend more due to debt, vanity, and comparison, and they always live in a state of deficiency. They earn a lot, but they are poor. I've also seen people who seem to have a lot of things, but they don't have access to them when they need them, and they can't spend them because they're afraid and greedy. They are never truly rich.
I wondered if the same could be said of a rich person who is rich in heart and spirituality. I believe a person who is truly rich in heart is someone grateful, who rejoices in small things, doesn't want more than they need, and can use what they have freely. A rich person who can't cash in his money and spend it freely is a rich person who can't move. I believe that a truly rich person has the freedom to enjoy peace beyond having more or less, to love and serve people, and to live with God even in difficulties.
I also believe that a spiritually rich person is one who realizes God's grace, is content with what God provides, and enjoys peace of mind in his relationship with the Lord. The world judges a person's worth by the size of his possessions, but in the kingdom of God, peace of mind, gratitude, trust in God, and the freedom to give joyfully are true riches.
The idea is that true wealth is not the amount of things you have, but the freedom to give with gratitude and joy. We believe that the rich are those who can spend, share, and enjoy freely with gratitude and joy in God. Such a person is not swayed by circumstances and is already living a ‘rich life’ because he or she rejoices and is grateful for even the smallest things.
Often, when I feel the need and weakness of the flesh, I remind myself of these words
“But with a self-sufficient heart, godliness is of great profit.” (1 Timothy 6:6)
