Providence
Poverty is always been heavily stigmatized. The poor is often overlooked as the perpetrator of their own demise. Jesus was poor His whole life and taught us to see God in the poor.
Everybody struggles with finances at some point in life.
Financial stress is not necessarily associated with poverty but instability.
Nonetheless, the wealthy are most vulnerable.
A wrong investment can plunge into capital loss, to mention the most common scenario.
The poor, despite struggling, have little to lose and lots to gain, eventually.
Ironically, they turn out less mentally stressed than the rich.
That said, another less known subculture of poverty exists, the indebted.
This group is almost invisible, hard-working, sound looking.
I identify in this group .
It is the most frustrating dimension.
I desperately want to repair for this involuntary slip-away.
I can’t say I m poor.
I work to pay my debts.
Life must go on.
I can’t foresee my future until debt-free however, I can see God’s providence.
