If You Are Rich Pray Like This

When I drive big modern vehicle
Lord, let it be from your loving heart

When I have fat bank accounts
Lord, let it be from your loving heart

When I own beautiful buildings
Lord, let it be from your loving heart

When a beautiful spouse I marry
Lord, let it be from your loving heart

When I am happy and full of joy
Lord, let it be for your loving heart

Loving God, give me all that ask of thee
Lord, let it be from your loving heart

When I use gifts from your loving heart
Lord, let it be for your loving heart

When you've given me enough from your heart
Lord, don't add more. I want to be holy

Gershon Wolf Date: 8/2/2019 3:56:00 PM Interesting, Solomon. It seems that the younger generations equate wealth with evil somehow. Abraham the Patriarch was the wealthiest man of his time. Didn't stop him from being humble: "I am but dust and ashes." Didn't stop him from running to personally serve and feed three passing vagabonds in the heat of the day---at age 99, three days after being circumcised, at pain's peak... Much food for thought here. Thanks for posting. Best wishes, gw Login to Reply Solomon Ochwo-Oburu Date: 8/3/2019 3:36:00 AM Very useful insight. Thanks
