Wealth is a status and having money is considered power. Some believe there is no greater power on earth than money because it seems to answer all things! Agreed, it is something you must have to travel, buy, invest, negotiate or barter in this world. In some cases, if you have no money sometimes your good name will get you credit. Great credit scores are essential in life, also to rent or buy, for a lender to lend, you must have money, access to it, or some type of collateral of great value.
The truth is. money's value is dependent upon the possessor. It can be misused and depleted without knowledge of its purpose. Misused money will cause debt collectors to break the peace in your home. Understanding the purpose of money is necessary to keep order in your house. Money must flow in and out like water. Like a strong current, money is called currency. Lack of money means no food, provision, clothing, no cash, no flow. Needing and loving money are two different things. We need money to pay our bills, to buy food, and for the necessities in life. Loving money is the root of what gets many into trouble. Wanting riches will breed greed from our lusts.
Right now, we are in a season where we need to be wise in buying and spending. The holidays are here too but don't feel the pressure and overdo it. Be wise and those who love you already know it. Expensive gifts are not proof of love so be at peace.
