The Currency Illusion

Why money can buy needs but never define worth in Jesus Christ

My mother used to say, “Money is only good for what it can do for you.”

At the swap meet, I saw stacks of cash.

To me it looked like power. To her, it was just paper—useful, but limited.

Money equals security.

That’s the illusion.

If people think you’re motivated by money, they’ll use it to manipulate you.

And if you let money define you, your value will rise and fall with your bank account.

Yes, money has its place.

It buys groceries. It pays bills.

But it cannot buy identity, purpose, or eternity.

My mother’s phrase echoed over time: wear this world like a loose dress.

Translation? Hold it lightly.

Because the real currency isn’t in dollars.

It’s in Jesus Christ.

The one foundation that doesn’t inflate, doesn’t collapse, doesn’t shift.

Every other currency is counterfeit compared to Him.

So here’s the question: are you being paid in paper, or in promises that last?

Who do you know that measures worth by money?
