"Think of your brethren like unto yourselves, and be familiar with all and free with your substance, that they may be rich like unto you. But before ye seek for riches, seek ye for the kingdom of God.
"And after ye have obtained a hope in Christ ye shall obtain riches, if ye seek them; and ye will seek them for the intent to do good - to clothe the naked, and to feed the hungry, and to liberate the captive, and administer relief to the sick and the afflicted." (Jacob 2:17-19)
The saying goes that money is the root of all evil. According to this scripture, though, the problem might not lie with the money itself but in what one chooses to do with it. When we stop and realize that all we have comes from our Father in Heaven, it becomes clear that we need to use the resources and talents with which we have been blessed to help all of His children here on Earth. As we do so, not only will we enrich the lives of others, we will also find that our lives are better because of our choice to share.
