It seems so easy to conform to this world and the things around us.
Our friends buy a new house or new car and we quickly compare what they have to
what we have. In that moment, that hour, that day, that week…we think about,
even dwell upon the thoughts of “we aren’t good enough because we don’t have
-------.”
So easily we begin to compare ourselves. Our lives and our possessions
to that of which our neighbors have. In that split second we become focused on
not what we have been blessed with but what we want.
Is it really – what we
have isn’t good enough? Or is it….the bigger, the newer the better we have the
happier we will be?
I am so guilty!
I complain.
I compare.
Unlike a flower that never compares itself to another flower. It just
blooms.
I have wilted.
I’m constantly being convicted of not being content with the riches I
have. And yet I lose sight of the many blessing God has bestowed upon me.
Recently I heard someone say “It’s easy to be content in the highs of
life.”
Oh….that’s so true!!!!
Yet, when the lows of life appear we instantly lose sight of Phil 4:19
which tells us that God shall supply all our needs according to His riches in
glory by Christ Jesus.
He will supply our needs!
Maybe – all in all – it’s not the “things” we aren’t content with.
Maybe it’s our heart.
Our hearts and minds are not set on the things of above but on the
things of this World. (Col 3:2)
A Kingdom Mindset!!
Hmmm…..
If my mind and heart are set on the above how could I ever want for
anything on this Earth?
He will supply My needs. With a Kingdom mindset I shall receive His
Kingdom.
What more could a girl want?
Forgive me Father…..
I shall become the flower that does not compare herself to others
flowers. I shall…Just Bloom.
I will be content in whatever state you have me.
Blessings!
