Yet another incredible @HenriNouwen perspective : Our Poverty, Gods Dwelling Place How can we embrace poverty as a way to God when everyone around us wants to become rich? Poverty has many forms. We have to ask ourselves: What is my poverty? Is it lack of money, lack of emotional stability, lack of a loving partner, lack of security, lack of safety, lack of self-confidence? Each human being has a place of poverty. Thats the place where God wants to dwell! How blessed are the poor, Jesus says (Matthew 5:3). This means that our blessing is hidden in our poverty. We are so inclined to cover up our poverty and ignore it that we often miss the opportunity to discover God, who dwells in it. Lets dare to see our poverty as the land where our treasure is hidden.
