The Love of Money is the Root of All Evil

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.

Many years ago I was shown this picture as I studied 1 Timothy 6:10.

Money is a tool, that can be used for great good when its value is understood. We are blessed with many tools to get the job done. Yet, anything that we love more than God is an idol that will cause great sorrow in the time to come if we are not submitted in our choices.

Money is just a tool, not evil in itself. Anything becomes evil by the love of it replacing the love of God in your heart.

Psalm 68:19  Blessed [be] the Lord, [who] daily loadeth us [with benefits, even] the God of our salvation. Selah.

Obviously, God desires to bless us and provide well for us. But things, people, or money are never to usurp God's place in our affections.

Many years ago as I prayed, I saw this image of a child holding a broken heart. All the pieces were there but it was in pieces. As I prayed for healing, I realized, He was asking me to bring Him all the pieces. Not just the big parts, but every little shattered piece.
He can and will restore your heart. But you must give it to Him.
All of it.
Just as He showed me this child's tears and upturned face, this is what HE requires of us.
Bring Him all the pieces of your broken heart, withhold nothing.
