MAKING IT TO THE END OF THE MONTH
money becomes all-consuming, and chasing it consumes their lives. Sadly, this is not an exaggeration. I gently suggest that this level of obsession is like a cancer that devours and destroys. The effect money has on us can also be likened to a drug – something that controls us rather than us controlling it. If money is so central to our lives that we love it above everything else, then we must learn how to stop this particular drug from consuming us.
Money does talk. It can alienate us from people and life. It can, and will, dominate our every waking moment, whether we have wealth or not. Our culture reinforces this position because we live in a money-driven society. We need to remove this ‘cancer of the heart’ and then keep it monitored and under control on a regular basis. If we do not, our relationship with money will remain unhealthy and, sooner or later, it will negatively affect the practical, emotional and spiritual areas of our own lives, as well as the lives of our family members. So, it’s imperative that we put this relationship right and release the control that money seeks to have over our hearts.
