One of the most underrated and less appreciated effects of the Holy Spirit residing in us is its ability to help us focus our attention on what’s most important. It helps us get our eyes off of ourselves, and onto the tasks at hand. It helps us seize the moment by shifting our attention off of “what do I get out of it”, and onto “what can I do to help another”. This is the only power on earth that can overcome our sinful nature. He’s the antidote for selfishness. That’s what true love does. Selfishness causes dissension, but love unites. When we set aside our greed (selfish desires), and focus on unifying, prosperity (unity in Spirit) happens across the board. Selfless acts of love will always prosper, always.
25 Greed causes fighting; trusting the Lord leads to prosperity.
