If there’s a pile of dirty clothes....be thankful there are little (or not so little) people living in your house.
If the dishes are piled up....be thankful you have food to eat.
If you’re experiencing grief....be thankful for the love you shared.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed....be thankful for the responsibilities someone thought you could handle......be thankful for a mind that drives you to care.....and just always know that it could always be worse! I think we need to be constantly reminded that God NEVER promised an easy life on earth.......He promised SALVATION and ETERNAL life....IF we accept it....
There’s a difference...and very much worth the cost!
If you aren’t sure what God is doing in your life.....ask Him....read your Bible....talk about it.....just don’t let Satan sneak in....he can be a pretty good imposter.
Don’t wonder about what people are thinking about you....most people are too caught up in their own problems to worry about yours....
If they’re worried about yours then it’s for one of two reasons -
1. They care.
2. They have too much time on their hands.
I once read something like, “God didn’t create you as an end in yourself. He’s the end, you’re the means.”
That’s a pretty powerful statement considering the demands we can put on ourselves and each other.
Why does our human-ness cause us to fight battles that God has already won?
“You haven’t messed up God’s plan for your life. You, my dear, are not that powerful!”
