Not too long ago I went through some struggles of comparison and unfulfillment. As I scrolled through social media I would catch myself thinking, "why cant I have this", or "why cant I be in these circumstances". I was left feeling empty, wanting more and more of what I didn't have. God reminded me quickly that I truly lack nothing. I have everything I could possibly need and more. And if I cant worship Him and be thankful in all circumstances, specifically the ones that I'm in now, why would He ever give me better or different circumstances. We love to make life all about us: what we need, what we have, what we want. But the older I get the more I realize that life is not about us, its not about materialistic things, or what we accomplish, where we go, what we do: Life should simply be about Him. Everything that we have, everything that we dont have, none of it is cause of us. It's all given to us by God to bring Him glory. If we can find joy in what's in front of us then we will never lack anything, if we can learn to find Joy in just the fact that we have Him, what else do we need. Today at my womens bible study a lady shared her amazing testimony that touched me so deeply, I couldn't wait to share it because it'll hopefully touch you too. These days people like to look at your accomplishments and successes and decide how great your life is going. Before knowing God, this lady was truly successful. Working as a nurse practitioner she said she was so financially successful, her job and money were everything to her. She confessed that she had about a few millions of savings at her reach at all times. Then one day, God touched her heart through a song and she decided to follow Him. Having God in her heart, and the more she got to know Him, He revealed His will for her life loud and clear. God wanted her to give up her financial stability and give everything she had away. So just as the disciples did she left everything and followed Christ. Up to the point where she only had $8 dollars in her pocket. Later she got sick to the point of near death. Nothing was holding her back anymore, she had nothing, she gave it all up. She was ready to go, but God showed her that her story was not over. She realized that even though she felt as if she had nothing, God showed her that she has everything. She has Him. He stripped her of everything to show her that she didn't need money or success to be happy. Her only true joy was in Him. Today she lives a simple life, in a neighborhood that's known to be poor. But she says that every day she wakes up and she knows she lacks nothing because she has everything she needs. Through her testimony I was truly humbled. Why are we always searching for more and better? Everything will fade away but God will never leave us. What's the point of being wealthy and successful and popular, whats the point of comparing what we look like or what clothes we wear with others who may have better. Everything we have is a gift from God. I pray that God can humble me and teach me to be grateful for what I have and where I am in life. I pray that I can make my life about Him and not me. Job got stripped of everything and he worshiped God, the apostles left everything they had to follow Jesus, Zaccheus gave up all his belongings to follow Jesus as well, and so did this lady that came across my life. Why shouldn't I? I wish to have the faith to put God first in each day, I wish to know him more and more, so I could truly feel fulfilled and know that I lack NOTHING and that I truly have EVERYTHING.
