I wrote this today before I saw tomorrow’s writer’s prompt. For some reason, I am consistently a day ahead with them.

True prosperity is to have your heartbeat synchronized with God. It’s not rooted in status, position, or wealth. This is my prosperity! “My soul glorifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.”

Perhaps prosperity isn’t measured by money but by contentment. Maybe it’s not the accumulation of finances but the growth of heart-felt gladness and delight — the ability to go through each day sincerely rejoicing in simply being alive. Little children do that. They still have the innocence and the lack of pretense to recognize and enjoy the loveliness of life moment by moment. Prosperity is the ability to rejoice and be glad and be content and be at peace regardless of your circumstances.

Prosper in gladness. Prosper in contentment. Prosper in kindness. Prosper in compassion. Prosper in forgiveness. Prosper in humility. Those are the kind of accounts that really matter! Prosperity is to live and think with a wealth of hope and joy.

Wealth, without a heart that prospers with peace, joy, and love, is just outward decoration for inward pain. The sole (only) prosperity that you can take with you when you die is soul prosperity! How is it with your soul? Inner peace is great prosperity!

Vast amounts of money can’t make your heart prosper with consistent radiant happiness, but soul prosperity can! Truly prosperous people wear the garment of praise that does what no quantity of money can do; it drives out the spirit of heaviness, worry, and sadness.

To really prosper is to have so much gladness that you give everyone you see a heart-felt smile.

True prosperity isn’t
To die with the most toys.
It’s the ability to
Focus on life’s great joys!

“Bless you prison, bless you for being in my life. For there, lying upon the rotting prison straw, I came to realize that the object of life is not prosperity as we are made to believe, but the maturity of the human soul.”
― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago
