Overcoming greed

Money is not everything :-

Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle. Proverbs 23:5

Jesus is my wealth:

This is what the LORD says: "Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength or the rich man boast of his riches" Jeremiah 9:23

Be Careful

Be careful that you do not forget the Lord your God... Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses and settle down, and when your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase and all you have is multiplied, then your heart will become proud and you will forget the Lord your God. Deuteronomy 8:11-14

The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.
You have power over your mind - not outside events
Your life is what your thoughs make it.

If money is your highest goal,
The thing you long to gain,
Its power will enslave your soul,
And cause your life much pain - D.De Haan

"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house; thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor's." Exodus 20:17 [The last of the Ten Commandments]

THE BEST REMEDY FOR GREED IS GENEROSITY.
