Matthew 5:5 ~ “You're blessed when you're content with just who you are—no more, no less. That's the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can't be bought.” (MSG)
There have been times when I’ve caught myself being envious of others. Before I lost weight, I was envious of ladies who were thinner than I was. Before I decided to wear my hair natural, seeing my sister flat iron her hair, I would wish that I had been the one with the “good hair”. Because of my family’s current financial situation, we’re not able to do a lot of things like shop, eat out, or take trips. I have to admit that I do envy those who are financially stable, at times. Today’s reminder is one I have to revisit often, blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Sure, the finances aren’t where you would like them to be, but you’re managing with what you have. You may not look the way other people look or have what they have, but you’re blessed! Be content with the fact that you are God’s child; don’t waste another minute thinking about how you don’t measure up. He has promised that we are the head and not the tail, lenders and not borrowers. Be happy with where you are on your journey right now, for you are merely passing through. Once you stop worrying about what you don’t have, and focus on WHO you do have, you will have peace that no amount of money can buy!
