Luke 18:9-30; Matthew 5:8

In this chapter, Jesus teaches us to say humble prayers, have a heart as pure as a child, and detach ourselves from our riches, and we will receive riches on earth and in heaven.

Jesus makes it very clear how to inherit heaven and have a close relationship with the Father. We need to allow God to exalt us, not ourselves or other men. We are to give to others without strings attached, for God will honor our giving. When we pray sincere prayers, God listens, for we humble ourselves and recognize His power over all.

Today, Jesus invites us to come to God with a genuine heart. He assures us that God is always listening to our prayers and aware of our weaknesses and sins. However, He rewards those who sincerely follow Him or seek Him above all riches.
