"When pride comes then comes dishonor, but with the humble is wisdom." Proverbs 11:2
Everyone at some point goes through that state of wishing.
I wish I had more money.
I wish I had a bigger house.
I wish I had a better car.
I wish I had a better job.
Thing is as we allow that type of wish list to grow we easily transform a good life into a world of self pity and a relentless pursuit of never being satisfied. We become full of a false sense of success in that our "things" are better than someone else's, and then we start to lack discernment when we come across someone who has better "things" than us. We stop working to be better people, making better use of our time, enlightening ourselves through the non material beauty of good books, nature, quality moments with those that matter most, and time with God. We start to get so cloudy we miss out on the small moments God places in our lives. We have a pride in us that constantly wishes to be prouder, but we just can't figure out why we can't get there… Until we do. Until we sit back and look at the real gifts, achievements, people, memories, and blessings that we have acquired throughout our journey. We get to appreciate it every day, and hopefully feel the absolute joy in having the opportunity to not have to wish for moments we can create right here and now.
Believe In The Unbelievable that is YOU and my prayer for you today is that you find beauty in the life you have and joy in every moment you are blessed with along the way.
