Can Money Make You Holy?

It's possible to have the wealth of a billionaire and the heart of a saint at the same time.

Is it possible to have the wealth of Bill Gates and the heart of Mother Teresa at the same time? Yes, it is very possible. It’s not going to be easy but great accomplishments doesn't come effortless. As Napoleon Hill said: Great achievement is usually born of great sacrifice, and is never the result of selfishness.

If the wealth will be used to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, give shelter to the homeless, heal the sick; to care for and love people, then money can make you holy.

Money isn’t the root of evil, but the love of money is. Having great wealth is good, but wealth having you is not. Destruction of people, families and nations are sometimes caused by love of money. But money can also help spread love in this world. Money can be used to support God’s work on earth.

Recently, thee billionaires committed suicide. Why? It only mean one thing: The love of money can never answer the deepest longings of the soul. Only love can do that. Only God can do that.
