Should God bless others more than us, who are we to intervene? If He’ll choose to be generous to others, who are we to ask why? “What concern is it of us?”-Jn21:22.
If fairness is what we want, I don’t think we will be where we are right now. Nothing is due to us and nothing will. God does not owe us anything. Yet still, He blessed, is blessing and will continue to bless us. You might find it difficult to see it at times but YES, you are blessed; we all are.
Here are 3 points that would help us feel blessed and be happy no matter what the state of circumstance we are in:
1] Know how to count. If we focus on what others are getting instead of what we have, we’ll end up pointlessly whining about everything. When in fact, if we’ll just examine our lives, we’ll see how blessed we really are! "I murmured that I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet." –persian proverb
2] Learn to enjoy simple things. The saying “the best things in life are for free” may sound cliché but it is true! Slow down and take some time to appreciate the small things around you. “It is not happiness that leads to gratitude; it is gratitude that leads to the sense of happiness.”
3] See trials as gifts. “Every blessing is a test and every trial is also a possible blessing”, it is just a matter of how you will take it. There is a gain in pain. If you want to know more check-out: "gain-in-pain"
It is funny to note how I ended up reading this FB application after writing this blog.
Coincidence? Nah.
Let's take that as an affirmation to LIVE our lives counting blessings, to LAUGH more often enjoying simple things and to LOVE out loud.
