To truly understand our wealth, we need to ask ourselves some hard questions: 1) How much of our wealth gets distributed to people who are truly poor? 2) Are we susceptible to so-called stewardship messages and teachings that focus on dollar amounts, percentages, and returned blessings, instead of encouraging giving with a cheerful heart? 3) What might change our perspective if we truly understood our wealth by comparing ourselves with the poorest people in the world, rather than with those who are even wealthier than we are?
