True Prosperity

All that glitters is not Gold.  I could turn this around and say All that is gold does not glitter!

Matthew 6:19-21 says...

19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Prosperity is mostly thought of in terms of income or wealth handed down to us. In other words material gain and getting. Humans seek the power of wealth, so they can do what they want to do.

I think true prosperity is found in giving. If we are givers then we are called generous but if we hold what we have been given another name for that is greedy.

Obviously we would want to thought of as generous rather that greedy. But most people probably believe themselves to be generous. Most people want to give its just a matter of WHEN. I say if we are truly generous then we must give today/now. We must look at what we have and divide off something to give (no matter how small and insignificant, something is better than nothing). Obviously the bigger the proportion of the given amount the more generous we are.

 Jesus praised the poor widow for giving all of her two mites and condemned the pharisee, although he gave large gifts!   

The scriptures say God owns the cattle on a thousand hills, He is not short of a quid, and how much of His wealth did God give into the control of humanity? All.

Nobody can out give God a wise woman once told me.

Don't wait to begin giving. We often try to delay Gods call to generosity by arguing that we can start to be giving when we have saved for ....... or when we've payed off........... and so on. Lets not delay the blessings of prosperity for another day/week/ year....... give now and prosper!
