As a young Nun, I figured a Good God would never connect with an evil like money. After all, didn’t holy scripture tell us that the love of money is the root of all evil? Years later, long out of the convent’s four walls, and after much thinking and writing about it, my entire picture has been upended. Money and God are best of friends!
It happened one day as I looked closely at a dollar bill! There it was, the eye of God, proof that God and money were buddies: Benjamin Franklin thought that if God was connected to our money lives, we would never betray its good uses.
I’m forced to my knees, grateful to God that finally, I see how closely God and money team up Money is all gift. Money builds community. Money bonds us together.
I continue to ask for what I need. I live an abundant life and rejoice in it.
In what way does money lead you to God?
