EVERYTHING!

There are people who cannot manage their money.

Not long ago I attended a CONSUMER RIGHTS DAY forum here in Kaitaia. It was very interesting to listen to the speaker from THE RETIREMENT COMMISSION. She said that 16 % of New Zealanders are not money literate. I have heard about illiterate people and computer literacy. But that was for the first time that I heard about money literacy.

People who cannot manage their money need help.

But I believe that it is impossible to help them, if they don’t tell you everything that has do do with money in their lives.

AND WHEN I SAY EVERYTHING I MEAN EVERYTHING!

Just now I am reading again:

“God can heal a broken life, but he has to have all the pieces.”

And here again, if we want the healing from God, we must tell him everything. We must give him everything. Everything has to be handed over to him. If we are still hanging on to something, there is no healing. It is just as easy as that.

I remember the hymn:

“ALL TO JESUS I SURRENDER,..”

The hymn is written by Judson W. Van De Venter.

Can YOU sing the refrain?

“I SURRENDER ALL,

I SURRENDER ALL,

ALL TO YOU MY BLESSED SAVIOUR,

I SURRENDER ALL.”
