One thing we, as humans, tend to do is complain! It's like someone decided to make this the number one hobby to have! On top of complaining about everything, ungratefulness enters the picture. People blame god for their problems. People blame each other for mishaps. Then what takes the cake is when people act like they have never been blessed with anything! Really? You haven't been blessed? I thought to myself, when someone told me something like that, "you just don't know how blessed you are!" Open your eyes!
It's been happening since Adam and Eve, when they had everything and wanted the only thing God told them they couldn't have. ONLY ONE THING!!! King David had everything he could want and wanted more! Be content with your blessings! After all, you've been blessed with certain things for a reason.
Living today, we even have something to we can be grateful for. Look at the little things we have. the movement of our limbs, a sound mind, even good physical qualities! Just being real, some people have been blessed with beauty and looks! Look at this... when have you ever took the time to sincerely give thanks for it? When was the last time that you genuinely thanked God for allowing you to wake up? Keeping you going throughout your day? Your health?
We have to be grateful over what we have. From the grain of rice that kept us from being hungry, to the cars that we drive and the transit cards we buy. You must be grateful over whatever you have and watch and see that you will gain more! Matthew 25:14-29
We are so blessed that we place ourselves in a comfort zone and don't realize how good we have it! People have much less and can be truly thankful but we can't even do a good job faking it! Let's get serious, we were blessed to be born. We are blessed to make it to the point we are in at this moment. Everything, even our trials and hardships, work as a blessing to us. When you think of it from that perspective, Jesus is the silver lining to everything. We know he is a keeper, and we know that His grace and mercy abounds on us. We were blessed in the beginning and will continue to be blessed until the end!
