Money matters.
Burdened with debt
we argue over,
strive for
and
idealize
wealth.
Once accumulated,
we grasp it close,
unwilling to let
anything slip through
our sweaty
fingers.
Beware the greed
masquerading as ambition.
Beware the wolves
who slip in
between the sheep
and the shepherd.
Remember the cost
paid
for your redemption
and be satisfied
with
your bottom line
but dissatisfied
with
the hurting world.
Gracious giving
benefits the giver
immeasurably.
No thing is mine.
"I am not my own,
but belong,
body and soul
to my Lord,
Jesus Christ."
Money is not
worth my love
for it is an untrustworthy
suitor,
promising contentment
but
never paying up.
