Money

Money 

"The love of money is the root of all evil." 1 Timothy 6:10 

Your ability to earn money is a gift to you from God by His loving Grace. 

Your ability to enjoy money is a gift to you from God by His loving Grace. 

Christ paid the price in love by God's loving Grace for you and me, 

That day so long ago, 

Upon the Cross high above all on Mount Calvary, 

So all would see His love given for you and me, 

As His blood flowed to cover all sins forgiven, and forgotten forever, 

That day, when on knees of humbleness before Christ 

And acceptance in faith's belief and complete repentance of all sins, 

Received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, 

Sealed forever by God's integrity by His Loving Grace in Christ, 

Eternity with Him in Heaven and there to look upon His Face at God's Table of Grace. 

Money has various effects on all God's Children and their health and well-being, 

Be it either physically or mentally. 

You can either share or hoard money. 

"For where your treasure is, there will be your heart also." Matthew 6:21 

By sharing, it forever builds the character within in truth and integrity, 

And opens the heart to share in love to give to the needs of others, 

And grows within, for love returns to give again and build complete in Him, 

When used to help, build, and encourage others. 

By hoarding, self sees no need to build or change the character within, 

For the heart is closed by pride, in love of self, 

And is void of truth and integrity to change within one thing. 

Therefore, self sees no need to help, build, or encourage others, 

For the heart and character within is wrapped within and values, 

The more you have the more you want, 

The more you have the more you spend, 

The more you have the more you worry, 

The more you have the more you lose, 

The more you have the more you leave. 

When you give away what you receive from God as a gift to you in love, 

The Holy Spirit within will build your character in Truth and Integrity, 

To become more like, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior in love, 

And release you from the bondage of pride to encourage and build complete in Christ.

The more like Christ you become, 

The more love you give the more you receive in return to give to others. 

Lord, make my heart as one with You and build me to see all as one in You,
