How Well Can You Serve Being Rich?

It really is heartbreaking to see poor people who is able to survive living under a bridge, yet we cannot fathom the way they find a way to smile and make ends meet.

We always hear the passage, “It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to get into heaven”. An exaggerated statement to emphasize that being rich and having money without a purpose is life without worth.

Most of us have trouble with success because our spirituality gets in the way. Many of these people are spiritual however it is additionally the main reason why they're not wealthy or rich. They struggle making both ends meet. 

Their life isn't going to manifest being blessed and spiritual. Why? It's because they're busy worrying if becoming rich is a sin or not; worrying more to do with their demands than living what they preach.

Others focus on making money and make millions for the benefit of their family. They forgot who gave them the wisdom to be successful. This may cause the love for money, whenever you think only of yourself and the sole purpose of becoming wealthy is YOU. 

It then becomes selfishness. Your entire riches will easily pass away if not being shared. When you try to stop being focused on your needs, you will become aware of the needs of others and the ones around you.

Being rich is not a sin, neither is a crime. In case you only focus on gaining wealth not just to meet our needs but to become a blessing to others at the same time, then blessings will pour out on you. 

It simply turns into a sin when you forget the very true reason why you became rich. This is exactly why there are misconceptions about rich people; where they are coined as greedy, arrogant, proud and egotistical. Actually some are.

You'll never be happy being a millionaire when you know not how to serve others. Whenever we, in our ignorance, know just one single side of it, that is creating wealth, we are certainly on the way to disaster. 

It is because the actual key of becoming wealthy in life is to be generous. Both of them are equally needed to fulfill our mission in life. Without giving, our life will end in frustration and despair, meaningless years.

To become truly rich is considered the most honorable goal you might have in life, for this embraces everything. 

Wealth arises from sincere service. The drive to do your best for success using your talents God has given is a great virtue. Pray for wisdom so that when riches are poured upon your life, you will have the heart to share it with people who needs help.

Money not just enriches your life but also the life of people God has entrusted to you. Become a good steward of your wealth and you can change lives through it.
