Money is not my everything. For me, it is not worth it to commit any bad act just for money. Money might be able to buy many things but it would not be able to buy my character, integrity and morals. God is the greatest of all. Money can make us do either good or bad things but God would only make us do one thing and that is to not be conquered by evil but to conquer evil with good. I want to love things that would stay forever. Money doesn’t last long. Money can burn. Money can lose its value. Money can be snatched or stolen from me but God is always by my side. No one can steal God from me as long as I have faith. God is my forever. For me, money is not really measured by how fancy, expensive, and how numerous the things it could buy but is measured by how you worked to obtain the money and how you spent it. That’s why, I think of all the corrupt, criminals, drug dealers, and all the people who commit illegal acts just to have money as the poorest. I may not be regularly attending the mass every Sunday but I always assure that I would be able to pray everyday. No matter how busy I am or I’ve been, I always find time to say my prayers to God. One of the reasons why I want to earn money is for my family, for my parents. I would like to make them happy. It would be totally nonsense if I would be able to earn money for them but disrespected and dishonoured them because that would not give them happiness but worst, it will just hurt them. Money should be used for saving lives but not by means of killing one just to save the other. Marriage is sacred for me. Whatever problem that may come to me, I know that God would give me many other available solutions out there that would keep my dignity and preserve my purity. We have money for us to have something to give to others. If we made money out of stealing, then it would be like we didn’t give at all because the money didn’t really belonged to us in the first place. Money is for peace. Money should be used to make friends and not to make enemies. But that doesn’t mean that we should choose friends based on their financial status. I believe that we should use money to improve and protect what is already ours and not to long for the things that the others have. The desire for something that is not yours or something that you don’t have but the others have is being greedy. I ranked this base on its level of importance. The list is based upon God's Ten Commandments. For me, each number is the counterpart of each commandment that God has given.

I like the design (hehe!) as well as the message of the blog. I really appreciated how you related your topic with God's ten commandments. Yes, God is incomparable to anything in this world. He is an all-powerful and omnipotent being. I hope (but I know you would|) you'll not just write and keep in your mind the greatness of God but live it, too. All in all, your blog is great.Keep it up!

I agree with you. Money can't provide us with everything. I will not give up something which is important to me just for money. I'm sure your beliefs will lead you closer to God. Nice work!

Many people can appreciate your blog because money can buy anything to yourself but the most important is money cannot buy respect and love to others.
