Theology on Money

Not having money Pisses me off. That's pretty plain and simple.
The feelings many people have on money acquisition is way out of kilter, and about as out of touch with real life as back when the churches use to tell women not to take "the pill". Antiquated... It no longer serves us.
Our world is changing. Many new ways to acquire wealth is born every day. As many ways as man can imagine, it is born.
When folks would approach me with this new thing or that new thing, I'd listen politely, and then either sign up or I'd walk off. Honestly, I've always looked for something somewhere which made more sense than sitting around WISHING for a change, or that things would be different. Trying to buy food and pay bills was horrible for us.
One day I listened to our old pastor talk about how GOD wants us to prosper and be in health... (then the voices in my head took over) - "Wait! I do agree with this scripture so why am I not prospering????" Then he said, "It is GODS will to give his children good things"! ... Yeah yeah.... blah blah blah (sorry if I offend someone but we'll blame the voices). Really? I mean Really God? Sigh...
If I really believed this, why is it not better at my house? Why do we suffer? We must be doing something wrong. We must be bad people, or we'd prosper. Right?
Wrong! Just Wrong...
I'm not doing any damage to my children. If we are God's children then he is not doing damage to us either. So maybe its just the wrong thinking around money which makes me lack it?
These are things I believed and said to myself way back then about people who were prosperous.
Luckier than I am.
They came from wealthy parents.
That's not my reality.
It must be nice...
It's good that it worked out so well for them (dripping with sarcasm).
Now, there are more and I will spare you, but even now typing those things out I know that with all the negative stuff I BELIEVED there would be little way God could send abundance to me. Being as every seed yields like plants (A tater ain't making a squash plant). Which basically means, I was getting what I was putting out.
Well, I've grown. I know that with much also is much opportunity to do good things. I enjoy blessing people and giving. It's just a pleasure to plant happy seeds in people's lives.
My Theology on Money was always that it was wrong to have so much. However, after changing how I viewed Money, and what I said around Money, my theology is that money meant for us all. God gives to his children so the work needing done here on planet earth can be done. Sort of hard to get it done with empty pockets. Right?
