Money

For so many days I thought I was a very spiritual person.
I love God and many a times spoke at length on how free i am from the worldly desires, only to realise I was not.

To preach is so easy but to pratice what you preach requires a whole lot of strength, courage , faith and patience.

True wealth consists not in what we keep but in what we give away.

We need to use our wealth and talents.

If water is stored in a pot for too long without using it. It decays.
Breeds bacteria.
We must empty it time to time, so that we can share , use it and enjoy it.
Not simple store it and let it decay...
But water a plant, share a glass with a thirsty stanger and wash ourself clean...

So much money is just rotting in banks when people are starving.
I feel so ashamed my self.
We save for the future and turn a blind eye to the poor.
There is so much we can do with our wealth, talents etc etc
All we do is STORE.

Why is it so difficult to share?
Why is money such an addiction?
Why people prefer to let go of relationships but will not let go of money..

A true man of God is the one who ...........
Can give and forget, the one will not store his wealth.
The one who will share his /her talents.
Life itself is a talent. No one can say they have none.

No wonder Jesus said, Blessed are the poor, they are free from the " sin of storage"
And it's easy for a camel to pass the eye of a needle but difficult for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.

God, help me to share my wealth, talent and life ...not only with those whom I love but with those who need the "extra" which lies "stored" with me....
This is my prayer to you God today.
Help me.
Give me the strength and show me the way.
I am not capable of doing it by myself , I need your Divine Assistance.

Amen
