Yet he proved he is real by showing kindness, by giving you rain from heaven and crops at the right times, by giving you food and filling your hearts with joy. ~ Acts 14:17 (NCV)
Lord, I confess that I've become good at thinking of myself as a victim. I like to whine about how unfair things are and how I've been overlooked. But my whining prevents me from realizing the extent of how much you have actually given to us. Thank you for being so generous. Help me to focus on your generosity before I even think about complaining. I want to ooze with gratitude and overflow with God-honoring joy. I pray in the name of Jesus, the greatest gift of all, amen.
