Satisfy ourselves, with what God has given to us
1Timothy 6:6–10 (NJB): Religion, of course, does bring large profits, but only to those who are content with what they have. 7 We brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it; 8 but as long as we have food and clothing, we shall be content with that. 9 People who long to be rich are a prey to trial; they get trapped into all sorts of foolish and harmful ambitions which plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10 ‘The love of money is the root of all evils’ and there are some who, pursuing it, have wandered away from the faith and so given their souls any number of fatal wounds.
We should be happy with what we have as St. Paul says in above verses from his letter to Timothy. We should not go after money which is lead us to love the world and it’s pleasures. This will decrease our experience of heavenly pleasures which is the gift of Heavenly Father through Jesus Christ. We did not bring anything to this world, whatever we have is the gift our Lord. If we desire more richness of this world, then we will face many trials and plunge into distruction. Love of of money will decrease our faith in Christ Jesus instead we will approach evil to become more to fulfil our worldly ambitions. We should have only one ambition to know God and His will till we reach eternity.
Let our Lord give us the grace to know Him and be unite with Him eternally! Amen
