More or less?
The More you Want, The more you Need;
The More you Give, The Less you Want;
The Less you Want, The more you Have.
Desmond, 2007

Simple may it sound. BUT many neglect this very simple principle. This very simple 'sense' that is blinded by the very greediness of our eyes. Often are the times when our heart is deceived by the lust of want. What we see, we want. What our brethren have, we covet. What our friends own we desire to possess. What others receive, we yearn...

Sound familiar? As much as we compare, we lost the sense gifted by God in us. We are so eluded in our greediness. We have become so numbed that we don't even know that we have sinned against God!

In our journey of pursuing God, we cannot pursue Money the same time. It is however wrong to think that it is wrong to have the mentality of wanting to be rich. Wanting to be rich is not wrong at all. It's just that you just have to 1st define what is rich? How rich is rich? And why do you want to be rich.

Among the best example given in Bible is King Solomon, son of King David. King Solomon to date is still regarded as the richest man ever lived. His wealth are from the result of pursuing God. He 1st pursued God, then only God gave him Wealth. By pursuing God, God gave Solomon wisdom. and through these infinite Wisdom from God that Solomon generated Wealth and managed those wealth.

Solomon knew why he is rich. he knew how he is rich, how he became rich and how rich is rich. Therefore, to those who seek fortune. 1st seek thyself. Only through finding one-self, one will be able to know ones purpose and ones portion of wealth!

With that i pray earnestly that one find self before wealth..
