The greatest poverty is the poverty of mind and spirit and not when you do not have money. The bible says as a man thinks in his heart so he is. The way you think in you mind that is how you are. No man was ever born and he is decleared rich or poor.
Sometimes we are born rich yet we wallow in poverty. while some who are born poor they ride on riches althrough life.
Therefore, poverty is the state of ones mind and spirit
