The blessings of life is not in
"having" but in "giving", the satisfaction of life is not
in "abundance" but in "contentment", and the happiness of
life is not in "problem free" life, but in knowing that God got your
back when you are up against the wall. It is necessary we know these realities
of life, because life will not always turn out the way we want it, and it is
needful to bear in mind that, life is full of what we have planned for and what
we have not planned for.
Giving, Contentment and Happiness:
Don't lose these three things in life; they are the three most important
components that make a successful, satisfying and fulfilling life. These three
are anchored on God Himself because only God gives freely, in Him we fine true
satisfaction and with Him happiness knows no bound. Not forgetting that "godliness with contentment is great gain" (1 Timothy 6:6).
We don’t count our blessings in
having but in giving, because blessed is the hand that gives than the one that
take. We don’t measure satisfaction of life in abundance but in contentment
because people that have much are even craving for more. Your life is not seen
as perfect when you don’t have problems but in knowing fully well that God has
promised never to leave you nor forsake. It was John L. Mason who said that “A
good way to judge a man is by what he says, a better way is by what he does,
the best way is by what he gives”. What you give, lives.
Give even out of your seeming nothing,
for out of it comes true manifold blessings, be contented with what God has
given you at the moment, by doing so you will experience real satisfaction.
Rejoice not only in good times but also in bad times, simply because God got
your back. If only we will all come to terms with these realities, life will be
much easier and our influence will be heavier. (Guteng 2016©)
