Thank You Jesus
‘Dear God, I am thankful for: My dog, this food, my mom, my dad, and some of my siblings.’ That last one was supposed to be funny, anyway. Typical prayer right? Now, what if you woke up the next morning and that was all you had? The same meal, your dog, your mom, dad and that sibling you liked. You would probably start thanking God a little more right? Living in India has shown me how I fail to be thankful for the things God has given me. I take things for granted SO easily. It is so readily available and I feel like, “Hey, I need such and such I can just run here and grab it or ask someone for it.� Here, that is not really a choice. You get what you get! And when you get it you realize, like the simple fact that you have ice, that you REALLY appreciate it. God has given us so much and we don’t see it. Either we choose not to or we have a feeling of entitlement. Neither of those are good just in case you were wondering. When we choose to keep asking for things and expect that they will be given to us and that we deserve them we create a very selfish characteristic. The feeling of entitlement may come from several things. One big one being that we didn’t have that one thing when we were younger and we feel like we totally deserve it now. That is SO wrong folks! Jesus gives us what we need and sometimes to show us how much He loves us he gives us what we want. In those moments of feeling like you have nothing to be thankful for start looking over your day and you will realize you have SO much to thank Him for. Let Him hear it! It’s like music to His heart!
Until The Whole World Hears,
