The Grass is Never Greener
I was talking with a lady this evening about how easy it is to think you want what you don’t have. Single people often wish they were married while married people understand the hard work involved. Some spend their lives climbing the corporate ladder until the day they look at their lives and realize they have no free time. Those with young children look forward to their children becoming adults … until that day arrives. If there’s one thing we lack in our lives, it seems to be gratitude for where God has us right now.
People have been discontent since the beginning of time but God calls us to embrace the life He gives … to find His purpose for our lives and then fulfill it. That’s easier said than done but it is important. We may THINK we know what’s best for us but God knows in reality, and He will work it out so that’s exactly what we get. We simply need to trust Him.
If you find yourself looking at others and wishing your life was like theirs, ask God to forgive you and begin to change your way of thinking. Thank Him for His calling on your life and strive to do the best you can in the place He has for you right now. His plans for you may change from time to time but thank Him every time. You may not know what’s around the next bend but He does, and I guarantee you it’s good.
