Do You Appreciate What You Have?

Often times we get caught up in waiting for others to celebrate us when in reality over 2000 years ago Christ celebrated us at the cross. It was Him who died for our sins even though He knew that the people who He was dying for would still be of a selfish nature only thinking about themselves.

Hmm...I wonder how many of you can relate to this story right now. Despite all that has been done for you, you still selfishly & with greed desire more to be done. Have you even taken the time to be thankful for what has been provided for you.

I often think about teenagers when I think of this logic. I mean, hey, I use to be one. I remember times when whatever was done was never enough and I always wanted more. The difference between me and most people however is that I poured out a lot so I expected to receive a lot. Even that screams "A Sense of Entitlement" and that's not right! 

I have a challenge for you today. I challenge you to stop what you are doing right now and tell someone, "Thank You"! Maybe you are an employee that needs to thank your boss for hiring you. Maybe you are an employer that needs to say thank your employee for showing such great improvement. Maybe you are a husband who has been enslaving your wife and you never took the time to appreciate her and say, "Thank You Baby for Everything  You Do, I really APPRECIATE IT"! Then take her out to dinner, shopping,or whatever her favorite pass time is. 

Now wives, you are not off the hook! That man loves you with EVERY breath in  his body and you have not even taken the time to appreciate that man for being a good man! For coming home every night, for helping you out without asking any questions. And what do your SINGLE girlfriends say..."He is a man, that is what

He suppose to do" and that is why they are still single. Stop letting the outside influences of lust, gossip, envy, & jealous to run your home which was built off of love, trust , & respect. 

I can go on for days about that one however, I will sum of this thought with this. The enemy, you adversary is seeking whom he may devour. So I urge you all to take time to appreciate what God has given you because if you do not appreciate what you have while it is here, then you have no right to be upset if you notice that from a far that someone else, gladly, did for them what you though was a tedious task.

Remember tomorrow is not promise to us so take no thought for it. Stop living as if you have time to get things right and learn to live in a state of APPRECIATION & THANKS GIVING! 

Love You All! Be Blessed!
