RICH AND POOR
In the press, on television, at work, on the street, and in short, everywhere, the same thing is always said: the economic crisis.

Who has not felt the devastating effect on their flesh? Very few, no doubt.
The lack of work (about five million unemployed), rulers who can not or do not know how to stop the advance of this social problem, etc. The fact is that not enough money goes into the homes, and families get into debt or arrive with difficulty at the end of the month. This shortage is the cause, in some cases, of family breakdowns that, anguished by the uncertainty of tomorrow, decide to break what they began so illusion in their day in the eyes of God.
But is desolation such? Most will say yes, and your reason is not taken away from you, because there is nothing better in the world than living without difficulties and knowing that all your needs are covered.
But let us leave aside this type of problems and analyze the other crisis: the spiritual crisis.
Let's ask ourselves: How is our relationship with Christ? Are we poor or rich? Are we alive or are we undead?
If He paid with His precious Blood all our debts, offenses and transgressions, and for this "He humbled Himself to death, and death on a cross" (Phil 2: 8), where is the problem?
If we have doubts, if we forget God because of the difficulties, we need to live and entrust our lives to Jesus, our Lord and Savior, so that He will guide us on his Path and embrace us until the end of the journey.
Let us cease our anguish over these hardships, let us face them and cultivate "first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to us" (Mt 6:33).
There is a saying that says: "Some carry the burden and others receive the grace"; Christ bore our heavy burden and, in return, we received the grace of life. While we live, let us not be dead, let us live for Him; let us be prepared for his coming, that he find us rich and worthy children of his and "let us not turn away from him ashamed" (1 Jn 2:28).
@the gringo. I firmly believe that many of us have not understood to which kingdom we belong, the day that the people of God understand that we have been given the authority to delegate in a world where we should feel that the kingdom of God is on earth, that day we will do wonders and We will truly enjoy the promises and blessings that God has promised for those who love him.
