The want to be poor

Proverbs 13:8
A man's riches may ransom his life,
but a poor man hears no threat.

"Rich" or "wealthy" people are living for what they have. If they were to lose it, what do they have left? Nothing but themselves. Yet, if a poor man has nothing, his heart and life are not put into his possessions. If he loses the very little he has, he has no reason to weep and mourn the loss. He really didn't lose much, just the little he had. The poor man must have his heart set on something else, like God.... With his heart being on God, if he were to loss all of his "stuff" he would still have his God. In the end, everything that doesn't believe in God burns up.... so in the end, who really wins?!

Luke 12:34
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
