God

This is our deepest poverty—a broken relationship with God. God created the world and called it good. He created people in his image, breathed his Spirit into us, and called us good. He is our first and deepest relationship. But the Bible tells us that we chose independence over relationship, and through our disobedience, we brought brokenness and pain into the world. But the good news is, reconciliation with God is possible. Through Jesus, we can overcome spiritual poverty.
