God’s generous gifts of relationships, possessions, and meaningful work should never be cherished more than the Giver.

From Matthew 6:24:  “No one can serve two masters, for a slave will either hate the one and love the other or be devoted to the one and despise the other.  You cannot serve God and wealth.”
