With God all things are possible

| The focus of our thoughts tend to be on ourselves , whether we utter the words or not, we constantly ask " WHAT ABOUT ME?" This is not the way God wants us to live. We can become desperate for peace, happiness, stability, and joy. That kind if hunger only God can give us. Our focus usually is what others can do and should do for us, rather than what we can do for them. That is not easy to accept, but in doing so it can be a life changing journey with God.
Overtime, you can understand that God is love and His nature is that of a giver 1 John 4:8. He gives, He helps, He cares, and He sacrifices. He does not merely so these things on occasion, but they represent He constant attitude toward us. Love is not something He does, it is who He is. He always offers us love, generosity, grace. It is true God is just and there are times when He punishes sin, but even that He does out of love, for our own good, to teach us the right way to live. He commands us to love and be kind to others, which means taking the focus off of ourselves, silencing the voice that ask, what about me? And learning to follow Jesus example of being kind, generous, and loving toward others.
Most of us concentrate of what to get out of life instead of what to give. Galatians 6:19 conveys to Be mindful to be a blessing. Use what you have in the service of God and man and your needs will always be met.
For it is WITH God all things are possible
Have a VERY BLESSED Wednesday
