Measure Of Our Gratefulness

I want to ask one question to you guys. How often do you thank God for what you have? If you only thanked God for what you have today, how much would you have tomorrow? See you've got to think real hard about it. How grateful are you for what God has given you? It is in our nature to only thank God for the things in our lives that only make us happy or give us satisfaction. In Romans 5:3-4 it says that we should rejoice in our sufferings knowing that they produce endurance, character, and hope! Just because something bad happens in our life doesn't mean that God is mad at us!! It shows that we as his children have another lesson in our lives that needs to be learned and the fruit of our suffering not only shows us how ungrateful we were in the first place but it also shows that we need God more than ever.

Put On Our Level

Everyday I get so sick and tired of people always talking about how much they don't have. Oh I wish I had these shoes or this pair of pants. Stop murmuring about how much you wish you had and take hold of all the things in your life that you do have!! The things you have now that you hold so dear to you may just vanish from your life. Basically what I'm trying to say is that don't consider your life something worthless just because you don't own something or aren't dating somebody you like. Treasure the things and people that you have in your life because you never know if they'll be there tomorrow.
