Newgene, have you read the Rich Man and Lazurus from the front page of BT? It's life changing - well it was for me. It's like starring at those pictures with another picture imbedded in it- your brain can either see the other image or it can't. Well, this is like that but it's the knowledge of your heart that opens. You'll really appreciate it.
The important thing, I think, is that no matter what you pursue, your life is a ministry and if you can be a blessing to others and be light no matter where you are, then that's great. Struggeling with these things are a sign of your good heart and a desire to serve Him-most people would not even bother.

And I notice something about Luke 12:15-21. What a one sided parable that is. Like, what if there was a rich man who stored up to give out? This parable is biased teachinging in implying that if "you're rich, you lay up treasure for yourself Nd not rich towards God". So is that stating, if youre rich for yourself you're NOT rich towards God?  Idk, this parable is so one sided. Seems like the rich man gets the negative end on things and the poor gets the praise; but its so hard to live in this life being poor. Maybe cuz km now "officially" grown, my own place, paying my own bills: I see what y'all adults were saying!! Lol. There is a need for money to maintain: whether rent, lights, phone, car,insurance. And then jobs is cutting hours or not enough pay: to be poor (which Jesus seems to praise more than the rich) is to not make it in this society.  And thank you for correcting me. I should know that its the LOVE for money. But don't we need it?? And if we could get rich, shouldn't we take that opportunity? . Scripture seems to condemn me on this matter but I know my heart is right.i just want to help myself and help my family. And anyone. And i know money is essentially the only way. Beggars don't want food or clothes; they want money. Thank you all for the input :-)

This is what God seems to do with me.  He always gives me just what I need.  If I attempt to collect more "manna" than what I need, it goes through my fingers.  I find things to buy that I "need"  lol!!  It is not a sin to be rich.  I work for men who are Mormon and Catholic.  They are very rich.  They are very generous and very kind and very patient.  With money comes much "responsibility."  God knows how much we can handle.  A person has to know their own strengths and weaknesses.  (EDIT:  That is not to say that if you have little money that there is something wrong with you!  God causes the poor to be rich in FAITH!" ***   I love the saying, "A girl's gotta know her limitations."  That makes me laugh.  I am so limited.  haha!!  But I have everything I need. God is so good to me.  I just reflect on the past.  I have so many things I could tell you about that God has done for me.  Do you want to hear?


***

Proverbs 28:20  A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.(I take that to mean that haste to be rich is akin to stealing/robbery.  I don't think you are the type to do either.  :) )


Luke 16:11  If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?

James 2:5  (AMP) Listen, my beloved brethren: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and in their position as believers and to inherit the kingdom which He has promised to those who love Him?

Foxx:
1 Timothy 6:10 - For the LOVE of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Do not love your money but being financially well off is not a bad thing my friend. Its one less thing to worry about and can afford you the means to accomplish other things in life.

thetruth:
Earn the money and send some to Ray!
