Give It All Away

Life is tough, and can sometimes seem unbearable to live. With all the chaos going on in the world, we lose sight of the bigger picture and get consumed in our issues. Life is not all about us. Just because we’ve had a bad day doesn’t make it right for us to take out our frustrations on others. You never know what type of day that person has had either. We definitely need to be more cognizant of others and understand that we have a responsibility to treat others, no matter who they are, like we would want to be treated. Life is not promised to be given to us with out triumphs, and we are not promised a life without trials and tribulations. The problems we face in life sometimes consume our thoughts and dictate the mood we will be in for the day. Our personal issues take precedent over everything else in our lives because have not learned to let go and let God handle them. No matter how horrible our situations may seem, someone else situation is always worse. When we understand that we don’t have all the answers, that we cannot fix everything thing wrong in our lives, and that we too, fall short and will endure hardships, we will get a better glimpse of the picture.

Many problems we face in life could be resolved fairly quickly if we simply laid them at God’s feet. Instead, we spend countless nights crying, countless nights talking to friends, and countless moments on the things we have absolutely no control over. All those countless moments add up to nothing. We could have simply prayed to God, and believed in His power and abilities to work that thing out and made those countless moments valuable. God desires to have a relationship with us, but He will not force us. He has given us free will and the ability to make a choice as to how we will live our lives. God wants us to know Him and the power He has. He wants to bless us abundantly, be we must be obedient unto His words. God wants us to have prosperous lives and be a blessing to others, but how can we if we don’t understand His greatness.

When we stop looking through blind eyes and listening with deaf ears, we can embrace the blessings that God has bestowed upon us. We must stop wasting our time and energy on the things we cannot control, so that we will be able to fully appreciate the life that God has given us. We must learn how to be more thankful for our trials because without them we’d never appreciate the love of God!
