Pay Day is PAY Day

Pay day for me is always met with mixed feelings.

Of course I’m glad that I would (finally) be getting paid for the work I have done, and believe me, I feel I deserved every cent from this last pay cheque. But the nice feelings fade when you realize that most of the money will be paid back to the banks within a week… Bills to pay, loans to clear, some debts to pay, here a little, there a little and before you know it, you’re back to square one in a blink of the eye, waiting for the next pay day to come.

And now, I really cannot understand why people are willing to live in debt their whole lives, working for the bank all the time. I want to be able to spend the money I earn the way I want to. Besides my tithes and offerings to God, I want to have the freedom to decide how I want to spend my money.

There are so many times when I wanted to be generous and help someone in need but cannot, simply because I do not have enough for myself. That’s really sad… I believe God wants us to be prosperous and I’m really praying for that day to come soon. I look forward to the day when I go to the bank just to get my money out, not put my money back in.

Only then will pay day be a truly happy day!
