No. There's a time to sow and a time to reap. I give out of my check EVERY pay. God promises in his word that when you give, "I'll pour out a blessing that you won't have room enough to receive."


So, when it's your time, it's your time.

$4500 is a blessing you don't have room enough to receive?

You think God's only blessed me with 4500? I said this is A BLESSING God has given me. And, why are you mad? This is my plasma TV money.

Don't hate.

Oh...one more thing...

Your concept of money and wealth is a far cry different from mine...To me, I'm rich already. Wealth is something different. My job is just a means. The money that I have after I pay bills, give my tithes and offerings is Pocket change. My job is not the source of my sustenance. God is my source. I am wealthy because I have access to unlimited resources. The only limitation being my own mind-set.

When you learn to be happy for others, you'll be blessed yourself.


Give it to charity? LOL....

Then quit your job and see if God pays your bills with random blessings. It just doesn't work like that, you are getting money because you have a job.

If anything money is a curse... Think about it for a second. If Jesus was alive today, and he got $4500 dollars, what do you think he would do? I definitely DON'T think he would spend it on a plasma TV for his apartment, so he can have slightly crisper image quality while he watches a football game, while people are dying and suffering and in desperate need of love.

I am not telling you to give away the money or whatever, but stop kidding yourself. You are NOT selfless, you are selfish! That's just the way things are. Say sorry and move on, don't think "Oh, im special, God is blessing me because I give a little bit of my change away every pay check, I am a chosen child of God and God loves and cares for me more than other people so he gave me $4500 and blessed me." By doing that you're just being even more selfish and delusional.

God loves you as much as he loves that crack addict bum that lives in an alley and murdered some dude earlier in his life. He loves you as much as he loves Osama Bin Laden, as much as he loves Hitler, as much as he loves the white dudes that lynched blacks for no reason. If you consider $4500 a blessing, as in a repayment for something you've done, then you are a materialistic fool and you don't understand anything. Yeah, it's helpful, but you are "blessed" in so many other ways which you apparently don't care about as much as money. Basically everything is a blessing, so don't be ungrateful. If some dude punches you in the face and steals your $4500 then you should thank the lord because you are alive and got to feel a punch and theft in your lifetime. If you saw a leaf being blown by the wind, you should be so grateful that you would be happy to die right then and there because your life was fulfilled and you required nothing more.

If your whole family was killed in an earthquake or something, you can be sad, but you should be grateful and consider it a blessing as much as you have this money that you got.

You see what I'm saying? By being "more" thankful or whatever for this money it shows that you are biased towards "worldly" shit (as in the bible's meaning of worldly), which is exactly what you're not supposed to be. You could say you are thankful for the other stuff, but your actions say something different.

oh boy terumoto you have that conception all wrong....God says if you truely want to be happy you will WORK so of course you have to work to get money..you dont just expect to get it off the tree's.......It says in the bible a thing that brings happiness is working because it makes it so you can have a place to live,eat,etc.

Did you only read the first sentence of my post?

Anyway, if you want to go by the bible, it also says that worldly things such as money are worth nothing and you shouldn't give a shit about them, and that you should give as much as you possible can to people who need it more than you do.
