3 John 1:2

I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.

As our soul grows in the knowledge of the word of God and His ways, so do we.  We learn wisdom for our lives, finances, and health.  We prosper, and it takes time to move away from the old ways and the past, but when we diligently seek the Lord we will see our lives transformed.  Keep going on the path with Jesus and let Him lead us into a closer relationship where we gain the knowledge to transform our lives.
