Darnell, this is a tough one that I deal with personally. As a Christian, I know that money is not what is to be coveted, yet I find myself often putting my self-worth in connection with my net-worth.
But, Jesus calls us to be generous, and the generosity will flow back to us! Yet, I am a human being with "spiritually defective DNA" as my pastor puts it, and so I am still working on my generosity. My pastor had an outstanding sermon series on money and generosity and allowed me to publish his notes on the series: https://www.thewealthletters.com/p/020-from-stress-to-rest
