I was pondering today that more often than not, most of us crib about something or the other that we do not have. And most of the times this feeling gets aroused when we compare ourselves against others. Oh! He got that, why didn’t I? Because of this, we end up obscuring all the blessings that have been showered on us by the almighty! We tend to forget that whatever we have is a great blessing. So instead of focusing on what we have and be thankful we rue about what we do not have!
I always feel I am very blessed because God has taken good care of me and I have been lucky enough to have everything that constitutes the so called “good lifestyle”. This feeling of being blessed is accentuated when I see people around me. When I go out on streets I find people who do not have proper clothes to wear, people who make both ends meet to get their daily bread.
You must be wondering-why all of sudden thoughts on this? Actually I am watching KBC for the past 2 days, and two of the contestants who came there were from a lesser privileged background. On hearing their stories and their struggles, I really felt that God has been very kind on me. I have got a good education, and then a good job.
On seeing and hearing that- my belief got stronger, “There is a great mercy behind everything happening!”
God Bless!
Cheers!
