"Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5
I have heard the saying, "people are funny when it comes to money" and I have to say I have seen it first hand. I don't understand why people are judged based on their wealth or lack thereof. People are hated and envied when they do have it while others are mocked and shamed for not having it. I used to believe that wealth meant you were favored by God and poverty meant you were in sin/bondage. But as I have grown in my walk, I have learned that not to be true at all. The Lord spoke to my husband years ago when He said, "let no man enslave my daughter to the blessings I have bestowed upon her" and I also want to add "let no man judge us for the blessings God has bestowed upon us". Don't ever let anyone make you feel guilty for your blessings. The Lord blesses His children so we in turn can bless others. Our wealth is to be used as service to Him. He wants us to give Him the glory and honor. Don't get caught up in the mindset of this world whether you happen to have much, or whether you happen to have little. Our heart is who we are, not our wallets.
