Gratitude

i think God is really amazing and works in ways that are totally unexpected. He likes to juz pop out of nowhere and slam things right in your face to make u realize some amazing things. lol.

not too long ago i’ve been feeling kinda low, a bit pessimistic as to what’s going to happen to my life. and being the usual competitive me, i started to think about what i can do to make my life wonderful and to be rich in the future blahblahblah tt kind of things.

and den recently, i’ve made it a point to start reading the bible every night before sleeping (yes i noe it should be a habit by now). and as usual, God shook me real hard to make me see things His way.

the thing is, why am i so competitive for? wat’s there to win? victory has alrd been won by God. and with God as my provider and Lord of my life, wat’s there to fight for other than the glory of God? and why should i worry abt being rich? the very fact that i’m here right now, enjoying luxuries that some ppl might not have, shld be why i am happy.

not only that, juz the mere fact that i’m right here now, breathing and having this relationship with God shld be why i am to be happy. juz think abt how many ppl might not have the chance to ever noe God? and God sacrificed His only son juz so i can enjoy this relationship with Him. how wonderful is tt?

there is no more reason to be competitive to win. i have no reason to blame myself or feel worried when i’ve done my best and yet i still make mistakes. i shld alrd be thankful for even having the chance to do what i am doing now.

and here comes the main point. i shld be doing everything with a heart of gratitude to God. God saved me and gave me all these opportunities and talents to do what i can do. so i shld be thankful in all that i do, and give glory to Him. if we all can do this, we will all be contented with what we have, and we will be so much happier. at least tt’s the way i feel now. suddenly there’s this calmness and peace within me now that i’m able to smile at everything tt happens, be it good or bad. so wonderful and so amazing.

thank you God.
