​Most people assume heaven is for good people. It sounds fair — good people should be rewarded, bad people shouldn’t. We comfort ourselves with the thought that we’re “good enough,” especially when we compare ourselves to others.
​
But when you stop and think about it, that idea doesn’t really work.

​When the story of Esther opens, God’s name is never mentioned. At first glance, He seems hidden. But the more you read, the more you notice His hand at work: guiding Esther to the throne, exposing Haman’s schemes, and turning despair into deliverance.

​Open your newsfeed and you’ll see it: accusations, counter-accusations, images of suffering, debates about who’s right and who’s wrong. Even if we don’t live in the places torn by awful human decisions, the noise comes right into our homes through our tv's and devices.

As we close our Be Rich season this year, I want to leave you with one question:
Have you grown in how you are rich toward others?

Have you ever put on an outfit that just didn’t feel right? Maybe it was too tight, too loose, or just not your style. It might have been perfectly fine for someone else, but for you—it just didn’t fit.
The same is true for how we connect with God. There isn’t just one way to grow spiritually. We are wired uniquely, and the way we engage with God should fit us—not someone else’s expectations.
