living it

Living.....breathing.....moving....working....sleeping. Life, the drudgery that becomes us? Not so much.... it is what we make it. If we make life menial and trivialize every little thing that upsets us we begin to change, we begin to harbor resentment towards things that we never payed half a thought to before. Think about it... is your life really that bad? Do you really have it that hard? Are you trying to glorify your trials by magnifying them to everyone in hopes of consoling or sympathy? Maybe you do have it that bad..... but nevertheless, stop complaining. Everything we have is by grace, God gives us trials to shape us and make us stronger. He will never give you more than you can handle going through. Maybe you cant go through it because your to busy complaining and pitying yourself instead of focusing on the goal ahead? Romans 8:18 "For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us." Instead of nursing sorrow and dwelling on your trials hardships, focus on the glory ahead, the promises that are to be given to us! Sometimes we make the hardships of our trials our glory. (GLORY: something that is a source of honor, fame, or admiration; a distinguished ornament or an object of pride). Why? Why do we glorify our hardships? Because of an issue of pride. We want people to know that we are suffering and battling through it, as if it is by our own strength. Instead glorify God in your struggles, glorify him and admonish your sinful desire inside to glorify yourself. Instead let your praise be to the one who carries you through your hardships and declare his good works to the world. Psalm 96:3 "Tell of His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all the peoples."
