Money: The Root Of All Evil... Or Not?!

It's been said, "Money is the root of all evil." Yet as you ponder, just how true can it be?

Money is inanimate and so is unable to cause harm. The root of evil can therefore not be money but the one who possess the money. It is the individual in possession of money who could:

1. destroy or restore others;
2. condescend or build up others;
3. indulge in self or contribute to the needy;
4. brag of one's wealth or spread one's joy by giving to others; and
5. the list goes on!

Life is not fair. We are each gifted differently and so have differing abilities to earn. Yet there can be a form of equality amongst humankind as those financially stronger mature in gracious giving, and learn to support the less fortunate ones.

Blessing comes from not just receiving, but also in giving. Be a giver. Possess money. Do not let money possess you.
