My Dear Children,
I was listening to a program the other day; the speaker was talking about how the United States is a consumer nation and we consume a lot more then the other countries do. We throw away stuff that is brand new; look in the trash and see; we buy stuff that we never use. We also buy stuff and we have no money to pay for it
I have a question I want you to think about!
Are all your needs being met?
One of the things I have come to see through the years is that greed keeps us unhappy. How is it affecting your life?
I remember several years ago at a meeting in Wisconsin; we had prayed for several people and then someone spoke up and said; “now let us pray for the both of you”. They all gathered around us and laid a hand on and asked us what our needs were. I looked at Pauline, she looked at me, and we both realized that we did not have any needs.
We do not have a lot of money in the bank. As far as the world is concerned I guess we would be considered poor. We are not poor, we are rich. We are wealthy, and we don’t have any needs. We do have a few wants, but no needs.
My dear children greed has a silent voice, it says; “You need this! You need that! Greed stirs up your wants and makes you unhappy if you don’t get your wants satisfied. We are a nation that is told day after day, you need this. No! The truth is you don’t need it. Our nation is in the condition it is because so many people wanted so much more then what they needed.
My dear children my prayer for you is that you will not be caught up by greed and wants, but that your needs will be taken care and you will see your true wealth and have an abundance of joy and happiness.
If you have a need go to Jesus first and don’t delay!
My Love and Prayers,
Dad
