Sometimes, we can be very unappreciative of what we have. If we're poor and all we have to eat is rice, we should be appreciative of what we have, if we have a nice family, the Lord and love. It's better to be financially bad off and to have a loving family and the Lord, than to have great treasures and no love. Many people have it all, but they don't have money and they aren't able to look past what they don't have and be thankful for what they do have. If you're poor and don't have much, but you have people who love you, then look past what you don't have and thank God, for what you do have. I personally get upset when someone is upset and unthankful about finances. I get upset because I'll think, "Well, isn't your loved ones enough to be thankful about?" I grew up with a lot of arguing and without hardly any money. Still don't have that much money, but I'm thankful that I have the Lord and that I have people who love me. Don't give up love for money. Love is worth more than all the money, in the world. What causes a person to give away money? Love does. If love causes people to give, then love is greater than the gift, given. Because the gift doesn't cause you to love, but the love causes you to give the gift. So, be content with having love. It comes easier for some of us, to be content with that than it does with others. Sometimes, you just have to realize what you have. Take out whatever money you have in your pocket and set it on a table or somewhere. Once you have it there, look at your loved ones. Would you give up your loved ones for that money? I would hope that you wouldn't even think twice about giving up the money, instead of your loved ones. There are some people who would give up loved ones for money and they aren't very happy people. Money can't buy love and if you don't have love, you don't have happiness.

Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for this message. Please forgive us of all our sins and we forgive those who've wronged, us. Help us to be content with your love and with the love of others and not live a sad life searching for money. In Jesus, name. A-men!
