Why create prosperity for yourself when you have Prosperity fully?

I admit I have been investing for my own self-preservation, a means of support for my family. Admittedly I have given little thought to any other reason; am I doing this, and many other things, just for myself, even if for legitimate reasons?

I think back on how I sought Your blessing in many of my endeavors, with the promise that once blessing was received I would then benefit others. It rarely happened because I was naive enough to believe I could move You in that way. It seems so childish now.

Now I have come to the place of examining why I would do what I am doing: what purpose does it serve others if I hoard all for myself? Therefore, I need to examine my motives, not to gain prosperity for I have it fully even now, but to understand how I may use this prosperity through my investing to assist others. I cannot add to what I have already so why do it at all?

And now a glimmer of understanding has come. You have seen you cannot add to the Kingdom what is already fully there - you can only create to increase its presence. Why create prosperity for yourself when you have Prosperity fully? Seek instead to create, that He might be manifested in greater ways in the lives of others – and in ways that are not only money. Money, by itself, is only a means of furthering the lives of others into seeing the true Kingdom, and not that of their own.

Therefore, your thoughts need to be for Wisdom: how best to accomplish this through your investing? Let Him be your guide into why; let Him speak into the manner, the purpose for any gain. Are you to measure gain just for your own satisfaction, for your own security? Or, do we seek for the anchoring of the souls of others within the Kingdom? There are profound ways for this to happen: what will be yours?

And so, seek to remember this each day you work to invest, and in all ways you move through life – your motivation for doing anything you would do.

You see how your accounts are a manifestation of what already is, that of Prosperity; they did not appear out of nothing, but out of Him. Your desire was born for this manifestation to do something, initially for yourself, but now with an understanding that it is done for others. What will you do now? Even now you see what appears to be small, as if that is all there is; you know that is not true, yet fear it might be. You have reached the crux of belief in Prosperity.
