When a person struggles with greed, it will rob them of the peace and joy God intends for use to have. The saddest part of this struggle is that most people who have greed in their heart don’t even know it. Everyone around them does though…and most of the time…that greed becomes a wedge in those relationships.
Recently I talked about this at Grace Community Church. Listen with an open heart.
Have you seen greed rob someone of peace and joy?
Do you have an example of a time you’ve been encouraged to give something extraordinary?
I have struggled with this personally. Always needing more, there was never enough and I was not joyful. Thankfully my wife and the mercy from Jesus helped me through it. I find the temptation is always there and I give with a joyful heart to overcome it. It is not always easy though.
Thanks for sharing and your honesty James.
