How often do you sit down and wish you had things differently? I mean if you’re anything like me you probably pray for it every day right? We pray for better financial situations, better relationships,better health, better circumstances all around!!! We are never satisfied with what we have. WHY? Why are we never satisfied? Why can’t we just be thankful for what God gave us? I mean money pays our bills and puts food on the table, but why can’t we be happy with the life we have? I struggle with hearing people complain and cut people down constantly every chance they get, and these social media sites are great in theory until you catch adults acting like teenagers or I guess I should say it UNCHRISTIAN like. Basically people we are expecting our lives to be perfect here on earth. We want the perfect house, the perfect relationship, the perfect society, and the perfect financial situation. I have news for you….this is earth and life is not perfect! We have to work at life, we have to accept what we were given and the situations we are put in and deal with them in a Christian way. Why, because one day we will be given the perfect life in heaven where we will have everything unflawed and laid out for us so neatly. We will have no more struggles, no more adults acting like children, we will all get along, and we will all love one another. This time and this place is affected by our sin and our unwillingness to live the way God intended...by his word. If we do not start to change that soon then eventually we will be so overcome with all the sin and hurt that there will be nothing left of good in the world. You are not going to get a better life sitting on your butt writing nasty comments about people on facebook or twitter or google+! NO, you get a better life by reading God’s word, volunteering, spreading his name, and just being a minister to others, but also by making yourself a healthier happier individual. If you put your trust in the Lord he will provide for you. I know I struggle to put my whole trust in the Lord but at this point in my life, we have come to that crossroads where it is time for me to say Lord, it is up to you! I know it says in the bible you are tithe every week and give of your money but my husband and I have never been able to do that….but I have always given of my time freely and willingly. I have always volunteered at the church whenever I could because I can’t give of myself in the form of money. Like I said money is not always what God is looking for. God is looking for Love….He wants us to Love one another. That is his biggest commandment. So I choose to love other children by being a foster parent and I choose to love to work with other kids as that is my passion. I love others no matter what their flaws, and even if a child has to leave my home for reasons I still choose to love and care about them. I pray from them and hope that God will get them through because it will be the choices that they make that will cause them to struggle in their life. We all have choices that define our lives, so please make good ones and choose to go and be in God’s word, and choose to love one another, and choose trust God with those finances and what ever decisions you make have faith and trust in the Lord as you make those those choices. Hopefully, along the way we all will have our better life, if we choose to have this life with God!
“I pray that Christ will live in your hearts by faith and that your life
will be strong in love and be built on love.”
Ephesians 3:17 (NCV)
