It's Friday. I use to live for Friday's. The weekend, time off, sleeping in, oh the bliss. Now every day starts with whining and coffee. Must not forget coffee. I bet you think I am speaking of my childrens whining but really I am referring to my own. God has been working on my heart lately in regard to whining and comparing. Comparing equals whining in my world. I want turns into I need and then turns into gotta have it now, and when it doesn't happen I become bitter and angry. Some people say the grass is always greener on the other side, a wise person said the grass is always greener where you nourish it. I am guilty of overlooking my own blessings when I see God has blessed someone else. Do you do this as well? I believe we all have a time or two, for myself it seems to be more often than not and I really desire to work on changing. I think 1 Timothy 6:6-7 says it so well.
6.Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth. 7 After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can’t take anything with us when we leave it.
True godliness with contentment. I need to grasp this and pound it into my heart. I've got a long way to go. Praise the Lord he isn't finished with me yet!
