It's interesting to see how people deal with great wealth. Take, for example, John D. Rockefeller. He became one of the richest men of his generation in the oil business but he did not sit on all that money. His astute business sense was matched by his reputation as a philanthropist. He gave great amounts of money to help further education, health care, and the arts. To this day, his name graces multiple colleges and hospital wings, as well as Rockefeller Plaza in New York City. Contrast that with Bernard Madoff, the financial advisor who cheated his clients out of millions only to see that greed rewarded with a life sentence in prison.
The more we try to hold onto things, whether it is money, talent, skill, time, or whatever, the less we gain from them. The more we give, the more we use what we have for the good of others, the more we gain, especially when we use those gifts for God's glory.
