You're Already Blessed
So often we ask God for blessings, neglecting the fact that we are already blessed. I mean, have you ever tried to go a whole day without complaining? It’s extremely hard. This life, our experiences, the chance to breathe each day is our blessing. And yes sometimes just being alive doesn’t seem like enough. But even thinking of walking on your own, being able to see, the fact that you have a bed to sleep in. We ask, we beg, we pray for God to increase us, but if you’re anything like me, I’m always asking for more. I was faced with the question recently, how often do you pray to be the answer to someone else’s prayer? And if I am answering honestly, not half as much as I am asking for answers to mine. It feels like no matter how much I accomplish, there is so much more that I want. I’m constantly striving to get there. But in reality, I am already here. Living, working, making it. Sometimes I really think the only option is cutting that ungrateful part out of my brain. But I pray that God never takes his hand off of me. He so easily could. Everything I don’t think is enough could be taken away from me in an instant and yet He still chooses me. Each morning, he skips me. On this day, I am declaring that I am enough, my life is enough and knowing that is the only key to freedom. Anything extra, count it a bonus.
