I just got off the phone with a credit card company; I’ve been trying to have one of my credit cards cancelled for almost 3 months now. Come to think of it, it is now easier to apply for one than to cancel.
I can remember the time that I had 8 credit cards to my name and I can buy a 3 series BMW with them. Credit cards are loaded weapons on the wrong hand, believe me, it was my old life. Usually I get them maxed out during the Yuletide Seasons. This is the most festive time of the year and we are so happy shopping for all our family and friends. The malls are all so decorated, the Christmas scent is very inviting, the colors are so lively and alluring and the bargain and promos are so irresistible. That is Christmas commercialism and that got me before. This year, we made sure to shop early, shop wise, shop with cash!
Is credit card evil, when you can’t control it, yes. I still use my credit cards, am down to two. I use it like a debit card now. I use it and then I put on the envelope the cash or check for the payment of the said purchases.
Is money really the root of all evil, NO, the LOVE of money is. And when you are slave to it, whether accumulating or in misspending, then it becomes evil rather than a blessing.
I’ve been receiving a lot of counseling requests and a lot are concerning money. Most marriages conflict also involves money. This CHRISTmas season, I pray that you don’t let money be the source of the festivities, rather focus on the Reason for the Season, Jesus Christ!
