Greed is never satisfied because self is at the center of its world and self
is forever taking whatever is beneficial to "me." A person secure in the
love of God approaches life with quite a different attitude: Because I am
sure that God will take care of me and provide all that I need, I no longer
have to be greedy, desperately looking out for myself and grabbing
everything in sight.
Greed is a sign of emptiness. If you find yourself grasping after things in
life, worried that you won't get what you want, what you need, or what you
deserve, you have put your trust in the wrong place. Greed will use you
without giving anything in return. God's love offers us a fuller, more
satisfying life.
"Give freely and become more wealthy; be stingy and lose everything. The
generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed
" Proverbs 11:24-25 NLT
