It is the blessing of the LORD that makes rich, and He add no sorrow to it, Proverbs 10:22
It is the blessing of the Lord, not our own efforts, that makes us rich. Riches is a gift, a favor and an act of grace from God. Riches is not something we acquire. It is rather, something we receive. When you become rich, thank God, not yourself.
Only riches gained through honest means bring true happiness.
Wealth gained through fraud or violence is sorrow; they carry with them the seeds of tragedy. Property gained through land grabbing or estafa will sooner or later produce power struggles, mutual recriminations, quarrels and shame to one's family. Only riches that comes from God's hands and obtained through honest means bring no sorrow. They contain no bitter seed of tragedy.
