Contentment! A major struggle of mine lately.
Evey feel like some has more then you and its not fair?!
I often feel this way,I wouldn't consider myself wealthy not in the least,but to 90% of the world I'm wealthy!
I may not have my own laptop, Ipod touch,alot or the most fashionable clothes,I may not have the same body type smaller girls who don't need to watch what they eat,I may not have that winning smile that gets people everytime,or that perfect hair,but I know I'm loved and made the way God wanted me and He supplies my needs.
I often look at laptops or cooler cameras,or the girls on blogger who take people pictures all the time and think man, if only I could have that,but I soon realized that whatever we get we always want more.
I envyed girls with dslr cameras, I've had mine for a year and already I'm checking out what other girls have that it is better.(I know the camera isn't what makes the photographer,but hey it helps.)
I prayed long and hard for my Toby,and I'm blessed to have him,why should I be so discontent?!
Envy and Discontentment go together causing trouble where ever they go,getting at peoples human nature and leaving them wanting more.
Lord,
Teach me to be content,to bloom where I'm planted. To not want more then I have,because 90% of the world has less,most of them work everyday, long ,hard and bearly have enough money for food much less all the luxuries I have. Help me to be humble and not look lustfully at others worldy possesions,or what others have money to do and just be thankful I have money to live.In Jesus name
Amen
3 thought(s) to note :
Girl, I often struggle with this. I keep reminding myself...be content with right now, now the past and not the future. But right now.
Very encouraging, Blythe. :)
What usually helps me when I'm discontent is to ask other bloggers what tips they can give about the subject that I'm struggling on. It does help. :)
I also struggle with contentment thanks for sharing this encouraging post!
