A Great Blessing Doesn’t Necessarily Mean An Extravagant Thing
There are moments when we fail to appreciate the blessings around us simply because we see things differently. Remember that a great blessing doesn’t mean big and extravagant. It can be in the form of love, peace, and joy. The blessings of God are not just about the physical things that we receive in life. But it’s all about the things that will also help our souls. Such blessings are so expensive that we can never buy them anywhere, but we can only receive them from God. So if you feel so disappointed because you think that God didn’t give you great blessings, then try to open the eyes of your heart. And only then will you realize the wonderful blessings that you already have.
The love of God is more than enough. Sometimes, we look at His blessings as something that we can touch and see. But then, we fail to thank Him for the things that genuinely blessed our lives. His love was there when you feel down and disappointed. He never leaves your side. His love alone is greater than the expensive things that you can acquire here on earth. Try to imagine your life without the love of God. Will you still learn to see the good things behind the challenges that you are facing? No matter what you do, God’s love will always be there for you. And that kind of blessing is greater than anything else.
The simple thing that you receive is already a great blessing to others. The air that you breathe is already an answered prayer to those people who are terribly sick and still fighting for their lives. The beautiful flowers in the field that you fail to appreciate are already a beautiful blessing to those who can’t even see the world we live in. The peace in your heart is more than enough for those who can’t even release forgiveness because of too much pain and bitterness. You see, there are a lot of things in our lives that we took for granted. And the sad truth is, sometimes we even try to blame God for the bad things that happened in our lives instead of thanking Him for the great blessings that we receive.
Let God change your perspective. Your life is full of wonderful blessings. So stop focusing on the negative things that happened in your life. Fix your eyes on the love of God, and you will feel in awe of the things that He already provided for you all this time. Remember that the greatest blessing that you’ve been looking for can be found deep within your heart. And it’s your relationship with Jesus.
