To Be Rich In The Eye Of God

Bible story, Jesus Parable
A parable told by Jesus Christ on hoarding riches selfishly

A rich man on finding his land with good crops, speculated to himself. "I don't have a place to store my crops, What can I do? This is what I will do. I will bring down my barns and build bigger ones to store my grains and other goods. I will then say to myself, 'lucky man', you have all the good things you need for good many years. Take life easy, eat, drink, and make merry!

But God said to him, "You fool this very night you are going to be dead. Who will then benefit by all those things that you have stored for yourself ?"

Jesus said, "This is what happens to all those who hoard riches for themselves but who are actually not rich in the eye of God"

To be rich in the eye of God is the only true fortune
