We humans are complex characters. I have noticed many times I catch myself wallowing in pity, and other times, having a heart full of gratitude. It is in my sinful nature where I find myself with a victim mentality. It is when I look to God where I see just how blessed I really am. This world places a lot of emphasis on feelings. So much so we get caught up in our feelings, instead of our blessings. At times, when things don’t go our way, we fixate only on that, not on what did go our way. Friend, when we focus more on our blessings, life feels more like one. May we not get so caught up in things not going our way and focus on God, His perfect love and all the blessings that He has given us. For a heart of gratitude, helps bring healing when things don’t go our way.

give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
