Someone said money is "amorous." True. For those who English is not their first language, like me, it means a thing that is lusted after, sexual desire can be had for.
It can be desired, longed for. That is why Jesus equated it with God. Why? Anything that can be longed for can also be worshipped.
That includes sex, sex object, addictive substances, etc. So, don't jump on money. It is not alone in the worshippable list. A lot of supposed holy people worship food.
Yet, they are the first to accuse other people of worshipping money. People who should be working on removing the log in their own eyes are worried about the sawdust in another's eyes.
There is nothing wrong with loving money, for as long as you understand the hierarchy of love. God does not care about you loving anything for as love as the love of that thing fades in the face of your love for Him. That is the real deal.
The devil is in the adverbs. Any and everything taking to the extreme is bad. So, it is not the money that is the problem. It is ensuring control that is the real issue.
You can love money, but it must always be under you, NEVER above you. That is the key.
Clear?
Wealthy June.
