<+>The life of a poor Christian. The blessings of God are far greater than worldly wealth. The wealth and treasures of this world stay in this world, but the treasures and blessings from God are eternal.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Jesus saw this, he said," How hard it is for the rich to enter the Kingdom of God! In fact, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!" Luke 18: 24-25
" Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth. After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into this world , and we can't take anything with us when we leave it. So if we have enough food and clothing, let us be content.
But people who long to be rich fall into temptation and are trapped by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. And some people, craving money, have wandered from the true faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows."
1 Timothy 6:6-10
" Don't store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where theives break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. Wherevever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be."
Matthew 6:19-21

I would always prefer to live a poor life than to live a rich one. Why? Because when you are rich you are more aware of the world. A poor persons knows how to value even the smalles thing. They have a true heart. A rich person who has everything has no idea what it means to suffer. To be hungry. A poor person on the other hand is generous. They will offer you even the smalles piece of bread. They have love and respect for each other. God takes that into consideration.

There was a variation of this question that went around about 10 years ago on some of the radio talk shows:
If you had a choice, who's life would you have chosen to live? Lady Diana's or Mother Teresa's

A poor Christian because as it says in the bible, "It is harder for a rich man to enter the gates of heaven than it is for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle."

I'm poor and wouldn't chose Christianity even if I remained poor . Believing in God would keep me poor and make me naive
