MONEY IS MONEY AND PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE—-RICH OR POOR, IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE!

“For wherever there is jealousy and selfish ambition, there you will find disorder and every kind of evil.” James 3:16

There have been many times that I have wondered just why there are those in the world that have all the money they need to buy whatever they want, and then there are those who have nothing.  They scrape just to find water that is safe to drink and food that is so scare that many of these people are mere skin and bones.  It just doesn’t seem right.  I have asked God on many occasions to show me why things are like this. He reminds me that the devil and his army are trying very hard to kill families and individuals.  He is the one who attempts to break up goodness with sickness and disease.  He is the one who attempts to break up families with divorce and other problems.  He also reminds me that we each have our own cross to bear.  We each have bridges to cross and mountains to climb. He reminds me that he loves both rich and poor, people that are good, and those who hate him.  He gives us all the same opportunities with his message and his promises.  He has given us all the ability to know and love Jesus. It does not matter just how much one has or doesn’t have.  What matters is that each individual born into this world has a mission.  We all have a calling.  Some of us have been called work in the deepest and darkest corners of the world while others have been placed in the middle of the richest.  Some of us have been born into well-adjusted families while others are born into families of drug abuse, alcohol use and many other abuses.  Wherever we are in life we are to live in the situations we find ourselves in. Some will make it, and some will not as we are to depend upon him to get us through the toughest of times.  We must look to him for guidance and self-esteem.  He is our father! He is Savior! He is our guide through life, no matter if we are poor, rich, healthy, with family or without family.  It is He who is our saving grace. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
