In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 Thessalonians 5:18

Sometimes in this life we spend our days complaining about how hard our lives are. Maybe we should look at what God has done for us before we utter those negatives words.

Today I was reading a testimony on Facebook about a woman whose 7 year old son had to undergone a very evasive spinal surgery. She mentioned in every word the name of God, thanking Him for taking her son through the surgery and the healing that is taking place daily. Before I read this article I was not feeling so well myself, but at that moment I realized that my own pain was negligible compared to this child. How can I complain?

In this life we all have burdens to bear and some are greater than others. So why do we spend so much time complaining about our issues? Have we given up on God's Word?

No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it. 1 Corinthians 10:13

When we are tempted God is there for us too, He never leaves us to bear our burdens alone. There are times when we feel like we are all alone in this life, but we are not. If we believe in God, then He is always with us. Just look at the small to the large components of our lives and see if you can recognize God in our daily walk.


Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

You see friends we have a comforter that cares for us more than any human could ever do. Do not put your faith in man, put your faith in God first and allow Him to direct your path. The problem always starts when we think that man can solve our problems. It also starts when we focus on earthly things, thinking that joy rests in these things. All earthly things are temporary, but heaven is eternal. Lift your eyes to heaven.

Today and always, let us count everything a blessing from God and stop complaining about what we do or do not have. Blessings and love my brothers and sisters..
