If you are.......

Today when I woke up and spent time studying my Bible, people who I know are going through a hard time kept flashing in my mind. I was thrown into a mix of emotions. I want to lift up to God in prayer all those in need. I also want to thank God for all the countless blessings he bestowed upon me.

If you are sad that your leg is broken,

I know one who has no legs.

If you are discouraged that you failed your exam,

I know one who does not know how to read.

If you are worried about the future of your job,

I know one who is jobless battling for daily survival.

If you are restless with your spouse for minor things,

I know of one who lost her husband the year they married.

If you are bitter that someone robbed you,

I know one whose house was fully burnt up in wildfires.

If you are resentful of your kids not living it your way,

I know one whose son beats him up and tortures the mom.

If you are vexed about waiting for your life partner,

I know one who was once handsome and brilliant

But an accident tore him apart mentally and physically.

If you are angry with your parents for not heeding to your wants,

I know one who is an orphan and has none to look up to.

If you are distressed that your eyes are not beautiful,

I know one who is born blind and cannot even see.

If you are dejected for not having the best car,

I know one who never could afford the cheapest one.

If you are troubled that you’re unable to buy another house,

I know one whose home is the pavement or park benches.

If you are furious that you are suffering for others’ fault,

I know One who died for you so that you may have Eternal Life.

Open your eyes and heart to see the light shining down from the heavens.

If you have Jesus, you have nothing in want; the world and its worries

Are temporary and this life will pass by; only Jesus’ Kingdom will remain.

Be grateful for everything and be prayerful for anything!
