Luke 12:22

"So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”"

Key Reflection

This verse highlights the contrast between worldly and spiritual wealth. One who focuses solely on accumulating riches for personal use ends up poor in the eyes of God, as they miss out on eternal treasures prepared in heaven.
