The thought behind the quote
Jesus said, “No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money.” - Matthew 6:24 NLT
Jesus said you can actually LOVE money!! And that you cannot love God and love money too!
Does God really want OUR money? Absolutely not! God just knows how important money is...after all, He created it! Whether it’s paper, metal or crypto-currency, this THING called money was made by God. And WE were made by God to treasure what is treasurable! In fact, something else Jesus said: “Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.” - Matthew 6:21 NLT
Read the full thought
God knew and knows our capacity to “treasure” and He knows our heart is not a leader but a follower! So, He set up a system of honor so that we would treasure the right things...so that our heart would follow what WE DECIDE to treasure!
What does God treasure? Money? Of course not! He gives us money to enjoy and use for good works and He gives us PEOPLE to love and live a quality filled life!
Use money...LOVE PEOPLE! If you don’t learn how to honor God with your money, you will eventually USE people to get what you want and end up loving money because of what it gets you! Use the money God has given you to advance God’s kingdom and bless other people. Use money to be a blessing to others and to show God’s love! Use money to work miracles for those who need a miracle! Use money to show others they are the treasure and money or people will never be for just your pleasure!
