Money is the Root of All Evil? Not Really

The idea that has been spread all over the world that "Money is the root of all evil" is definitely wrong. Money is not the root of all evil, but it is only a tool that we used everyday. In fact, we can use it to help other people that is in need. The problem is not the money, but GREED is.

To correct this phrase "Greed is the root of all Evil". Many people are so greedy with their wealth, they did not realize how it will affect to the people in need. That's why crimes (robbery, stealing, etc.) happened all the time because of the need to survive with their life. Imagine if all of us sharing with all our needs, there should be peace on earth but that's too ideal, isn't it? In reality, greed lives in every person and there's no way to eliminate this until you completely surrender yourself to God.

In Matthew 19:21, Jesus answered when He asked by a rich man what else he can do aside from following the Ten Commandments, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."

Your ultimate purpose in life is to share. And always think that if you share good things to the people in need, it will come back to you 10 times greater. Use your money as tool to help others and eliminate the greediness that lives in you. That might be so hard to do, but you can do it little by little everyday. In time, you will never notice that you have already surrendered yourself to God.
