“It is a fatal mistake to assume that God’s goal for your life is material prosperity or popular success, as the world defines it.

“The most difficult area to surrender for many people is their money. Many have thought, “I want to live for God but I also want to earn enough money to live comfortably and retire someday.” Retirement is not the goal of a surrendered life, because it competes with God for the primary attention of our lives.
