The only way people can truly view the role of money is through a Biblical perspective. Having riches only breeds the desire for more giving us a sense of false security. Having stuff leads the focus of your life onto self. Jesus said, “you can’t serve both God and money”. That’s pretty clear on this topic, as is this proverb. Giving from the heart brings more joy and satisfaction than possessing a great amount of riches. Think about that for a minute. Selfishness is the opposite of love, right? “Having” shifts the focus on self. “Giving” gets the focus off self, and on to others for their benefit. “Giving” and “loving” go together, as does “taking” and “selfishness”.
26 Some people are always greedy for more, but the godly love to give!
Proverbs 21:26
