I know some people who do this with their money.
First I know that without love it is impossible to please God ..
The people that hoard one of them says I hate people, but I know without the love for your brother is God in you, is the love of God in you? I know what the bible says about it..again without love its impossible to please God. We must love our brother. I believe to that church going must be in our lives God gave us fellowship to be with each other and worship Him. But the one that hoards their money says only hypocrites go their.
Sometimes I want a lot of money and I want to store up, but then I think what will this do to me? I question myself. There has been times when I have had more, and times I have had less. I know what it is to have less and be content. I think the above found that our about a little over a year ago. They lost everything they had. But they got it back and got more. But they do not follow Jesus.. One SAYS They do, I know the other doesn't..no names because I know who they are. Could be someone around you or me right?
Look at the verses below.
Matthew 20:14-16New International Version (NIV)
14 Take your pay and go. I want to give the one who was hired last the same as I gave you. 15 Don’t I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?’
16 “So the last will be first, and the first will be last.” Also do we have the right to do what we want with what God gives us? I would say no. Because what he gives us is his anyway. I try to share what I have, I can't put much food in my fridge but what I have I love to feed others. I don't have money, just enough to pay some bills, I have love, God is love, my hubby goes out and works nine hours a day for me, for him for God, we have what God gives us. But why do some hoard what they have, I could never understand it, some in my life hoard, complain about giving, degrade others that don't have what they have. I know its hard out in this world, but God gives us what we need, see the verse above, so the last will be first, and the first last, think about that when one day we will have eternity to know how God wanted it to be..God bless you Written by Betty Bolden 4-12-12 Copyright Jesus is my Joy Ministries!
