Topic: Prosperity (05/11/06)
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou may prosper and be in health even as thy soul prospereth(3rdjohn:2kjv)
The Cambridge dictionary defines prosperity as the state of being successful and having lots of money.
God approves of us enjoying our lives because we are his ambassadors. He wants us to prosper not only financially but physically in our health, emotionally and even our soul should prosper.
We primarily want joy when we seek prosperity. No matter what you have it is not worth having if you cannot be happy.
Prosperity for me is waking up every morning hail, hearty and healthy and not having to worry about any life threatening disease and having a guiltless conscience.
It is the ability to know what I can handle and what I cannot handle, I leave at the feet of the lord.
It is working towards putting spiritual maturity first and putting materialism behind. Being patient in trails, watching my mouth, being a hearer and a doer and sowing fruit.
It is having balance in life, work and play.
It is learning to enjoy things. It is making my relationship with my family and others a matter of importance
Prosperity for me is enjoying my today.

Prosperity of soul is a wonderful thing. Be careful of errors in capitalization and spelling, which interfere with your message. For next time, consider using less generalities, and using a personal "hook" to involve your readers. I appreciate the thought and effort that you put into this.
