The Spiritual Aspects Of Living Debt Free
To maintain debt free all your life, you must be willing to address the spiritual and practical aspects of money and finance. The three basic spiritual aspects of money management are gratitude, distribution, and confidence.
Be grateful for what you have and stop complaining!
Why is gratitude important?
God could have given you less than others’ or at least I can be what you think. Remember, everything is relative. God less perhaps has given so you have an incentive to do more. In our current life, you may struggle paycheck to paycheck, you can work hard, and yet you can just keep your head above the surface.
“You plant much but harvest little. You have just enough to eat or drink and not enough clothing to keep warm. Your income disappears, as if you put it in his pockets filled with holes. ” Yes, their pockets may appear to be filling the holes. However, be grateful! Instead of whining, put your time and effort in making money to live a debt-free life.
What you need, however poor it may be, share it with those who are less fortunate than yourself.
“Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so that there is enough food in my temple if you do so, open the windows of heaven for you and pour out a blessing so great you will not have room enough to take it in! Try it! Le I test to you. You are willing to give and share his possession despite poor because you trust in God. You honestly believes that some day God can “open the windows of heaven for you and really pour out a blessing so great you will not have room enough for him” as he promised.
His donor is based on trust, not on your own need. Mother Teresa once said: the more you give, the more you receive. It’s more than giving out of their excess: it is sharing its lack. You must follow God’s principles of life based on these three spiritual aspects of gratitude, sharing, and trusting, to be woven into their attitudes toward money and finance. These attitudes are not just life-changing, but also achievable. The right spiritual attitudes will help break your bad spending habits. They are not only exemplary but necessary for success in curbing spending and making it the ultimate free debt to financial freedom.
Another important attitude toward money and finance is that God has them all and that you are simply God’s money manager. When you come to think about it, you have personal responsibilities to meet its administration. The responsibilities of good governance include the following: diligence and productivity (if you do not work hard, you do not make money); proper time management (if you can not manage your time, you will find it difficult to manage their money) and self-discipline (If you do not control your spending, you never leave debt).
Thus, spending on yourself, start stop giving to others, spending discipline, begins to live down, not beyond their means and start saving for the future. If you are in debt now, only you can make the difference in your financial life. Only you can set a financial goal for yourself and work on it. Only you can exercise self-discipline to spend below your means and still to give to others despite their lack. But all these require confidence in the blessings of god and god, who often come in the form of wisdom. Yes, you can work hard, but their pockets “are filled with holes.” You need God to show you the way ‘the right way to make money and smart money management to remain debt free. If you believe that everything comes from God, and you are willing to share what you have and trust in divine providence, you will be living debt free for the rest of his life.
