In this world economics Is often about quickly making the greatest profit and they expense of others. It’s based mainly on greed and And a new first attitude. No it is sometimes called the pursuit of happiness, it will never satisfy our deepest needs or longings.

There is also what we might call “heavenly economics.” It gives free reign to generosity, love, and goodwill. It turns the selfish vicious cycle of greed on its head and flashes of heavenly sunshine beam through.

We can hear echoes of this in our problems today. Do you know if people forgive the debt, as they have been forgiven, and ripples of love spread outward. That’s an example of amazing grace in the midst of worldly economics, building up pressure and heaven.
