Ecclesiastes 5:10, 11, 12, and 16
If you love money and wealth, you will never be satisfied with what you have. This doesn't make sense either. The more you have, the more everyone expects from you. Your money won't do you any good. Other will just spend it for you. If you have to work hard for a living, you can rest well for a night, even when you don't have much to eat. But if you're rich, you can't even sleep ... People leave the world just as they came to it.
Let me start off with a story:
One day, a rich Dad took his son on a trip. The father Wanted to show him how poor someone can be. They spent time on the farm of a poor family.
On the way home, Dad asked, "Did you see how poor they are? What did you learn?"
Son said ...
- "We have one dog, they have 4.
We have a pool, they have rivers.
We have lanterns at night, they have stars.
We buy foods, they grow theirs.
We have walls to protect us, they have friends.
We have encyclopedias, they have bible.
Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are!"
It's not about money that makes us rich, it's about simplicity of having GOD in our lives.
As they say, we can have everything in the world but still feel incomplete without God ... but if God is all you have, you have all you need.
Blessed are the people who believe that they do not need to be rich just to be happy. Money can bring many problems. Yes, there are problems that the solution is money ... but there are things, like life, that money can't buy. Even how rich Steve Jobs, Dolphy, Cory Aquino, Michael Jackson, and many others were, they still died. And when they died, they just left their wealth here on earth.
They say, nothing is permanent in life. That's not true! Yes, there are certain things in life that are not permanent- even wealth ... everything may pass ... everything may change...still, God's love for us never ceases, never changes, constant, pure, and true.
GOD's LOVE IS NEVER ENDING ... NOTHING IS PERMANENT BUT THE LOVE OF GOD ... it never fails, it never ends, it never ceases ... it has no boundaries, it has no end, it has no conditions ...
Let God be your LOVER, FOREVER. Remember, in every way, in every day, you are LOVED. —Angelica Faye Tolosa
