A stressful job was the blessed opportunity to provide for my family.
Friends or family who always needed help were ways for me to serve God’s kingdom.
Seeing my own sin and faults was the chance to relish in God’s grace.
Not being perfect was the opportunity to improve.
He didn’t ask for my perfection anyway; He just wanted me to see His hand and to understand that I could be made perfect in Him already, despite myself.
So it was okay when I forgot and complained about my perceived plight, but the best news was that by seeing things from His perspective I could live a life more fulfilled and purposeful. I could also pour that vision out on others.
“And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.”~2 Corinthians 9:8
It was a good reminder for me today.
