How blessed am I?
Sometimes I forget how well off I am. I look around and see all the things I don’t have and forget how rich I am. Seeing the fancy cars, houses, and entertainment systems that others have makes me feel poor. But the truth it, that I’m actually very well off in comparison to most people.
I have a good job, a nice house, and a new car. Sure my car isn’t as nice as those that some people have. And my house isn’t as big as the houses that some of my friends have. But the house is mine, and the car is practically new. Most people in the world don’t own their own house, and most people can’t afford a new car.
When I think about how well off I am, I feel ashamed at how ungrateful I can be. God has blessed me with so much, and yet most of the time I’m not satisfied with it. No matter how much I have, I always want more. The truth is, that I have way more than I really need. God has provided me with so much that I don’t even deserve.
What should be happening, is that I should be thanking God every day for what he’s given me. Because I’m truly blessed by God.
