Most times, there's more than one way to look at things, quick example: half of an apple is rotten and the other half is perfectly 'fresh n crunchy' BUT most of us would throw away that apple anyway, even if someone sees the good side you quickly let them know ''NO! don't eat it, that's a bad apple''
Enough of the talking in parables lol
Nobody's life is perfect, but are you dwelling on your imperfections and thinking 'nothing good can come out of me'', how have you chosen to look at your life because no matter what you think you're going through there's still something to be thankful for, at least even if for nothing else, for the air you breath, FOR LIFE!
Let me say a little about me, this year hasn't been going so well.. and everyday I wake up and I pray, all I can think of is 'the bad' that's going on in my life, I pray for God to do something about it, I keep asking ''why me?''... But my friends and I talked one day, realizing how lots of people our age have died, lost there parents e.t.c If these people could be given another chance (i mean to come back to life) I'm sure they would say ''even if I'm poor or ugly this time I don't care, I just want to see my mum again and give her a hug'' or something like that. Then it came to me that I just might be an ingrate because I'm alive, I have food, I have cloths, shoes, my wonderful parents and my beautiful sister are still with me, they're alive too! My friends are alive!
....then I realized that I have more than I don't have. I had been looking from the wrong side!
Start to look from the right side today, not saying you should ignore/stop praying about what you're going through but just don't dwell on the fact that you think ''bad things'' are going on in your life ''when there's is life there is hope'' You can only get what the future holds when you let go of the past!
....be thankful to God for everything
when you start to think ''this way'' things would somehow fall in place and you'll testify!
P.S Don't think you're in the worst situation in life, millions of people are going through a lot worse than you can imagine
Well said. We always choose to ignore the positives because we are so caught up in our problems alot of the time. Sometimes, the solution to our problems is being grateful for what we already have. Sometimes, that's all God needs from us. Bravo !
