Count Your Blessings

Whatever you focus on increases. When you focus on your problems, your needs, your perceived lack, those very things loom ever larger and increase in proportion to your focus. When you focus on your blessings, taking stock of what you have in reverent appreciation, your hearts open to receive more. Be thankful for what you have and you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.  If you keep regretting about your past steps, with every step that you take, life will become more and more difficult. But if you look into your future with the eyes of faith, hope and love, life will become lighter and lighter.
 

When we are in the midst of our crises and pain, it is very difficult for us to imagine that our lives will ever be normal again. The good news, however, is that most of us do recover. By the grace of God, we begin to come to terms with our loss and focus on what positive things still exist in our lives. Do you remember any time in the past when you wondered how you would ever get through a specific painful life event? But here you are now a survivor, and by grace you will do it again and go higher.

You don't need more money to be happy. You don't need a new car, new house or new job to be happy. The truth is God has given you everything you need in order to be happy. You just need to focus on what you have not on what you want. Our God is a good God and He wants to give you the desires of your heart. But if you don't learn to be happy where you are, you'll never get to where you want. Lets enjoy what you have today. Be grateful for all God has given you. Be anxious for nothing and God will take care of your tomorrow.
