Do you like your life and enjoy it? Or do you struggle with it and wish you had a different life? Do you want to look the way someone else looks, or have someone else's family or career? Wanting what others have is called "covering" in the Bible, and God forbids it.
The grass may look greener on the other side, but it's just as hard to cut!
We are never going to have someone else's life, so wanting it is a waste of time. And, I think it is an insult to God for us to spend time trying and wanting to be someone we're not.
Faith is not necessarily the power to make things the way we want them to be; it is the courage to face things as they are. - Ronald Dunn
Never allow situations to define God. Situations may not be good, but He still is. We must remember, that it's not the load that breaks us down; it's the way we carry it.
Sometimes things that seem like the biggest inconvenience to us, end up being the greatest gift from HIM!
There is a heavenly reason for everything in life; may we always learn and grow from our experiences. I think that sometimes things are the hardest when we are headed in the right direction God wants for us. I often forget that the process is the point. The process of seeking God and knowing Him is the goal.
Better to limp along the right road than speed along the wrong one.
Contentment with life is not a feeling; it's a decision we must make. Contentment doesn't mean we never want to see change or improvement; it simply means we'll do the best we can with what we have and will maintain an attitude that allows us to enjoy the gift of life. God hates it when we pass up on the real life and settle for false promises of this world.
Be assured that if you define success as seeking God first, you will never be a failure.
The grass is not greener on the other side, it is greener where we water and fertilize it.
In Him,
Dalinda
