Description
I got inspired to do this when I pulled a bill out of my wallet and it was wrinkled into a heart shape. My mind instantly ran to this verse.-
"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows."
- 1 Timothy 6:10 NKJV

Though from what I've read you don't TRULY believe this, I just wanted to chip in one thing.
Money can't buy happiness.
Money is fleeting, here one moment, and gone the next.
And lastly, money does not love you back.

:I You people take people on the internet way too seriously. And this was what, two years ago? Why comment? Life is fleeting, and yet we still put effort into social relationships. Everything is fleeting. Enjoy life while you can. Live it happily.

Ecclesiastes 1:2 "Everything is meaningless, passing away with the wind. What do people get for all their hard work under the sun? Everything is wearisome beyond description. No matter how much we see, we are never satisfied. No matter how much we hear, we are not content. What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun."
Reminds me a lot of what you just said to me, and yet there it is sitting in the Bible. Maybe you should read that one a little. It's a short book. Shorter than the two before it, Proverbs and Psalms.

By your own admission, you worship money which can be an idol. You are willing to do whatever to get more of it. Did you know you broke one of the ten commandments? How can you repay this debt? For the Bible says no one with sin, even sinning only one time, can enter into heaven.

lol I didnt mean it in a serious sense. I never have money. I find amusement in the little things, like drawing, and reading and spending time with friends.
And the bible also says that if you ask for forgiveness you will be forgiven, and if you accept Jesus as our savior you will be going to heaven.

Indeed, for Christ has already payed the debt for our sins. You just have to be willing to accept His gift by having faith in Him:
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." - Romans 10:9
So do you believe this?

Well, it certainly could be a 'fingerprint' of God. The day after I posted this, my sister's pastor apparently was on this topic for his sermon. Seems like their is some importance to this verse at the moment.

Interesting how God works doesn't it?

How absolutely true
A lot of people have misinterpreted this verse in the past (especially those who don't know the Bible very well) - usually thinking it actually says "money is the root of all evil" or even "the love of money is the root of all evil".
So thank you for putting it how it's actually written - which couldn't be truer

Nice
Now I know where the saying about money being evil's root came from.
