How do we approach our finances? Do we push the moral lines in order to make more money and make excuses justifying ourselves? How we respond to scenarios that give us a choice to do what is morally wrong or morally right is telling of where our heart is. When we look at the big picture of life what we do here on earth needs to be more than just personal gain. God designed us to build each other up, be in community with each other, and do life with each other that benefits more than just ourselves. The verse above tells it how it is. What will people talk of us after we are gone, how greedy and selfish we were or how generous we were? Which one do you want to be known for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMoral choices are always easy to recognize, they are where you abandon self-interest.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTrue grit is making a decision and standing by it, doing what must be done.
