ETERNITY โ€” WHEN THE PRICE IS YOUR SOUL

If the price is your soul, then congratulations โ€” youโ€™ve just bought a curse and called it a blessing.

We are living in a world where money has become god and people have become disposable.
A world where your worth is weighed by your wallet, not by your walk.
Where clout screams louder than character.
Where truth is outdated, and pride wears the crown.
Where people will sell their peace, their purity, and even their souls โ€” just to shine for strangers online.

Money isnโ€™t evil.
But the love of it, the blind obsession, the idolization โ€” thatโ€™s where the rot begins.

โ€œFor the love of money is the root of all evil.โ€ โ€” 1 Timothy 6:10

Not the money itself, but the hunger that consumes conscience.
That love that turns humans into hollow shells.
That craving that makes you forget where you came from, who you used to be, and who you once called โ€œBrotherโ€ or โ€œSister.โ€

That love for money will:
โ€“ Make you trade your values for vanity.
โ€“ Make you abandon the ones who once prayed you through your dark days.
โ€“ Make you lie, cheat, and betray โ€” all while smiling.
โ€“ Strip you of compassion and leave your heart cold.
And at the end, it will still leave you empty.

Iโ€™ve seen it.
Humble souls turn into proud beasts the moment wealth touches their hands.
Once upon a time, they were kind, thoughtful, and grateful.
But when riches came, humility disappeared.
They began to worship their success stories, glorifying their โ€œhard workโ€ as though God had no hand in it.
They forgot the nights they cried for help. They forgot the prayers that lifted them.
They forgot God.

โ€œFor what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul?โ€ โ€” Mark 8:36

If your grind is killing your peace,
If your bag is costing you your integrity,
If your success is built on compromise โ€”
then you are not winning. You are just becoming expensive to hell.

Real wealth is not what you earn; itโ€™s what you refuse to lose while earning it.
Donโ€™t lose your honor.
Donโ€™t lose your peace.
Donโ€™t lose your soul.
Donโ€™t lose your obedience to God.

We are not here to chase money โ€” we are here to master it.
Money was created to serve your purpose, not become your purpose.
Let it obey your calling, not control it.

Donโ€™t serve silver and forget your Savior.
Donโ€™t chase coins and lose your crown.

We are not slaves to currency โ€” we are sons and daughters of a King.
A King who owns both heaven and earth.
So letโ€™s fix our hearts. Letโ€™s get back to truth. Letโ€™s remember why we were created.

Because what this world calls elevation, Heaven may call idolatry.
What the world calls winning, Heaven may call losing.

Stay grounded.
Stay loyal to God.
Let the blessings come, but never lose the Blesser.

Because at the end of it all โ€” Heaven is the goal.
And nothing you can buy is worth the price of your soul.
