Wow Sisters...such truths! Thank you Lord for patiently teaching us.
You both make really good points. And I really am not sitting on the fence on this one. He has blessed (or cursed! :D) me with being a Libra and not that I do horoscopes at all, but I do have that seeing both sides of issues.
You are both completely right! And I think it kind of hinges on where our heart is.
The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil...including the trust of money, or security, or worth. Jesus said it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich man to find salvation. I think that is because of how sin twists us so easily. If one has plenty of money they do tend to trust it. And how SAD is that?? Obviously we know it isn't worth trusting!! Think of all the things money doesn't fix!! But even sadder is that because the trust is there they don't really have a relationship with God!!
But as you brought up Rose...I do think our God loves us and wants to shower us with goodness and blessing!! Do we really give Him as much credit as He deserves for who He is?? Or do we rather doubt and mistrust?
I think He blesses us as very much as He knows we are able to take! :D A lot of people quote that God won't let us go through more than we can handle, thinking of "troubles" I honestly think that goes for blessings as well.
One really good point you both helped me to see is the blessings that go along with not having lots and lots. When one is money poor there just are situations where we get to "see" God provide!! And by knowing how that is He lets us share sometimes in seeing that wonder and awe in others faces if He lets us help them....
Thanks Laies!! ;D PRAISE THE LORD!
