How many people actually have everything they want in life? Even the wealthiest of men still desires something in his life. It is okay to have desires, but it can be a problem when you begin to focus on what you do not have and complain about it. When you choose to dwell on what is missing from your life or what you do not have, you become ungrateful for the blessings the Lord has given you.
Learn to count your blessings. Each time you find yourself complaining or worried about what missing from your life, think of a way the Lord has blessed you. Over time, you will soon realize just how bless you are without having everything you desire. Each day, make a list of 5-10 ways God has blessed you. Then look over it and thank God for what He has done for you. Before you know it, you will have a book of blessings to cherish and to remind you to always count your blessings.
Be blessed.
Great post. Too bad you don't have a microphone to read it to the world. We are not blessed because we have, we are blessed because Jesus is! Thanks sis, for reminding us to count our blessings. I plan to start my list.
