thanksgiving.

11 Oct

I am finally, fully realizing how much I have been given which I do not deserve. Why have I been given such amazing friends who take care of me and love me when in return all I have done is hurt them and lie to them? Why have I been given such a loving family who has provided for me without demanding anything in return, when all I have done is rebelled, ignored, and rejected them? Why have I been given an excellent paying job when I have not studied as hard as others have, or am not as qualified as others may be?

This is because the Lord is good and He provides; with every blessing He gives me I should become a blessing onto others. I should not boast of what I have but of who is God – the one who provides. I should be reminded of what I am called to do in His name, not for my glory but for His. I can only appreciate this world because I have been given the greatest gift of life – an eternity spent with my Father in heaven. I will live and not complain, because there is always someone who is worse off, and because I have been given the chance to live.
