In God's eyes, every person has inherent worth and dignity, as seen in the Psalmist's declaration of being "fearfully and wonderfully made" (Psalms 139:14). Jesus teaches that individuals are more valuable than material possessions, reminding His disciples that they are of great worth to God (Matthew 10:31). The apostle Paul emphasizes the importance of living a godly life, stating that "godliness has value for all things" (1 Timothy 4:8). As believers, we are also reminded to be content with what we have, for God has promised never to leave or forsake us (Hebrews 13:5), and to recall Jesus' words that it is more blessed to give than to receive (Acts 20:35).

As Jesus was sitting opposite the treasury, He watched the crowd putting money into it. And many rich people put in large amounts. Then one poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amounted to a small fraction of a denarius. Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more than all the others into the treasury. For they all contributed out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.”
O LORD, who may abide in Your tent? Who may dwell on Your holy mountain? He who walks with integrity and practices righteousness, who speaks the truth from his heart, who has no slander on his tongue, who does no harm to his neighbor, who casts no scorn on his friend, who despises the vile but honors those who fear the LORD, who does not revise a costly oath, who lends his money without interest and refuses a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken.
