There is an internal conflict that resides in most Christians about money. We want the overflow, but in the same breath we'll send it away with statements like "I just want enough to pay bills." Or "The love of money is evil." 

I'm here to tell you to stop it. It's okay to want to be wealthy. 2 Corinthians 9:8 states, "And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others." What does that mean? It means that he wants to give you the desires of your heart. He wants you to be wealthy so that you can give to others. You can't do that if you're broke. It's none of your concern what your family and friends think of you and your blessings. You leave that to God. If they are jealous, that's none of your business. 

Choose to listen to your Father, like you would want your children to listen to you. If your Father says He will "generously provide all you need", don't say, think, or do anything contrary to that. Don't pretend to not want more in front of your friends and pray that God sends you more behind closed doors. Be of one mind with God. If God is the one that matters most, then your friend's and family's opinions don't matter. Let them harbor negative feelings about your blessings. That's not your business or concern.
