You can attend a very luxurious congregation,
All its great ornaments generate your admiration.
In it, you can see that there is great prosperity,
Seeing this, you need to be careful with vanity.
With the luxury of the church, one is very impressed,
They think that house of prayer is more blessed.
One sees that there is a lot of luxury and prosperity,
Thus, they imagine everything is part of the divine royalty.
They have that church as a standard to achieve,
They suppose God will work only in luxury.
There are many people who believe in this,
Thinking that God’s actions depend on the church’s majesty.
Temple’s appearance does not prevent God from acting,
It depends more on the people who are attending.
God acts according to each heart and soul,
For He does not pay attention to what the temple shows.
God sees what everyone is really feeling inside,
Not paying attention to what they pretend to be in their lives.
That is why it is possible to find luxurious and cold churches,
They have forgotten who they really came to worship.
