I am convinced that the fruit of a frugal heart is to live simply. A cluttered life with all its distractions can make it hard to focus, and a proper focus is vital to so many important matters. Jesus told us that we should be satisfied with an “honest day’s pay for an honest day’s work.” An aspiration to make as much money as we can may distract us from the exercises of love. There is great wisdom in the simple prayer, “Give me neither poverty nor riches; Feed me with the food that is my portion.”
