Wealth can be a curse if you do not give from the goodness of your heart. The Lord will continue to bless you when you give. I will say that sometimes the devil will work with you giving you all you want making sure you stay greedy, snarky and don't remember God. Generosity without complaining will be a blessing when you leave this world.
@Running_with_Faith 🌿 Your words are so true-wealth can easily become a curse when it’s not used with the right heart. My family and I live at or below the poverty level, and while I wouldn’t mind having a little more freedom with our finances, I’ve often thought that having more than we need would feel like a burden rather than a blessing. From what I’ve seen in life, the more money people have, the more stress, selfishness, and greed tend to follow. On the other hand, when you don’t have much, you learn to appreciate the small things-and you find so much joy in giving, even in small ways. My husband and I love helping others however we can, and honestly, there’s no better feeling in the world than knowing you’ve made someone else’s burden a little lighter. I wish everyone could experience the joy that comes from giving with a thankful heart-it’s truly a blessing. I completely agree with you that generosity, when done with a cheerful spirit, is what God calls us to (2 Corinthians 9:7). And it’s such a powerful reminder to keep our focus on Him, not on what we have or don’t have. Thank you, as always, for your thoughtful and inspiring words. They truly make me reflect and give thanks for the things that matter most. 🙏❤️
