The other day I seriously was giving myself a big pity party and complaining to God about this and about that. I was like, "Why can't I have the desires and goals of my heart??? WahWahWah!"
Yeah, it was pretty ridiculous...but at the time it didn't feel that way. I was recounting ALL the things that made me MAD, disappointed, and seemed unfair.
Then, God had me open my Bible to this passage. I felt Him telling me to list out all that I was thankful for and to list out all that God was to me in my heart and life. I mean, did I really BELIEVE He was good and that His love endures forever...or am I just reading the words to feel good about myself that I at least read it?
As I made my list in my prayer journal, I realized my ridiculousness in my pity party. It's embarrassing to even write that I was feeling that way, because right now, I am filled with remembrance of so many ways God has proved His love to me in my life - not just with material blessings, but ways He has given me peace and freedom...and more and more!
Join me in the next time we feel that pity party coming on - let's instead list out - either on paper or even in our minds - the many ways we can thank God and praise Him. HE fills us and changes our hearts, and for that we are so thankful!
Love & Blessings,
