When I pray or talk to my heavenly Father, I always say Daddy I am
grateful for the situation I am in and the family I was born into. Well, normally there are times I get frustrated about things going on in
my life but I am always grateful that my situation is better. Many at
times we question God that why can't our situation in life be better but
never sat down to think about people who are not anywhere close to
having a good life like ours or we being appreciative about ours . Yes
we pray for something better but let us be appreciative that things are
not worse. I'll give an illustration using a friends story.
Had a friend who was so close to the Lord back in his university days.
He was the best in class, his parents were rich and so many good things
in life for him. The best of all was that he was always thankful and
devoted to God. He was a worker in church, joined the instrumentalist.
Until tragedy struck, lost both his parents and the family members on
both sides left he and his siblings to strive on their own. The only way
he thought they could survive was for him to scam people and get loads
of money from them. What really hurt me from this story was that he told
me he lost every reason to serve God.
Now look at things, that time he was good to the Lord and life was
going well, me at that time I didn't have salvation but still nothing
happened.
