James PattersonMarty, my mother used to say "Never get greedy with God." I think what she meant was "Don't dare ask for more if you already have what you need."
About This Quote
I believe this quote has a double-meaning. I think what this lady is saying is that you can’t ask for more if you already have what you need because God will give you more than you ever imagined. The other meaning is that you can’t get greedy because if you do, God will take away what you have.
