5.4.11

John 3:27 John replied, "No one can receive anything unless God gives it from heaven."

My Thoughts

As I look around at all I have... and look inside of me at all I can do and all that I have learned in my lifetime...then I read this verse I have to say to myself  Wow! We tend to look around and say look at what I have accomplished... when the truth is that without God giving us the knowledge and ability we would not have accomplished anything... and to accomplish more we need to seek God's wisdom...to accomplish more we need to be thankful for all that God has given us.  I know when I do something for somebody when they are thankful I want to do more...when they take me for granted I don't enjoy it near as much.  We don't need to take all that we have for granted.. we don't ever need to think that we could do all this on our own... we need to be aware to be thankful for all that we have and all that we can do at all times. It is amazing all that we have just to entertain us...to keep us comfortable... God cares about all of that... God cares that we feel loved... He cares if we are educated... He cares when we want to learn something new... He cares if we are comfortable... He cares if we feel safe... God gives us all of these wonderful things because he loves us. We need to take the time our of each and every day to say "Thank you God for all that I have." it all comes from Him.
