Proverbs 10:22 It is the blessing of the LORD that makes rich,
And He adds no sorrow to it.
People in the world get depression and sorrow and sadness with their material stuff, but those living inside THE Blessing get prosperity not only in finances, but in their soul, and in the healing of their bodies, and no sorrow, depression, fear, or sadness with it. No fear of loss, and "someone is going to steal it from me" inside THE Blessing. Being rich inside the Blessing is wonderful!

Until the life of the Christian is so obviously different from the life of the sinner, why should the sinner want what the Christian has?
2 Corinthians 9 "7Let each one [give] as he has made up his own mind and purposed in his heart, not reluctantly or sorrowfully or under compulsion, for God loves (He takes pleasure in, prizes above other things, and is unwilling to abandon or to do without) a cheerful (joyous, "prompt to do it") giver [whose heart is in his giving]. 8And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient [possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation].
9As it is written, He [the benevolent person] scatters abroad; He gives to the poor; His deeds of justice and goodness and kindness and benevolence will go on and endure forever!"

Proverbs 10:4 He becomes poor who works with a slack and idle hand, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.

Second, practice your religion without adulterating it or toning it down. Third, emphasize love and make it your working force, for love is central in Christianity. Fourth, study the non-Christian religions more sympathetically to find the good that is within them in order to have a more sympathetic approach to the people.”
Hey Zzub. I think somebody already beat you to it! Keep looking.

Phil. 4:16 For even in Thessalonica you sent [me contributions] for my needs, not only once but a second time.
17 Not that I seek or am eager for [your] gift, but I do seek and am eager for the fruit which increases to your credit [the harvest of blessing that is accumulating to your account].
18 But I have [your full payment] and more; I have everything I need and am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent me. [They are the] fragrant odor of an offering and sacrifice which God welcomes and in which He delights.
19 And my God will liberally supply (fill to the full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Zzub, I shouldn't have said this. What does it matter if the same scripture is posted 35 times? Praise God! Faith comes by hearing, and hearing the Word of God.
If you would though, please type out the whole scripture, okay?

Psalm 84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield;
The LORD gives grace and glory;
No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly.
12 O LORD of hosts,
How blessed is the man who trusts in You!
