Testimony Time:-This touched me, please read to the end.
I do hope we can all learn from the message. So sorry I have to say good
morning in this manner. I have to edit the true nature of the message before
sharing.
There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was
blind.
She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was
always there for her.
She told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see the world, I
will marry you.'
One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the
bandages came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend.
He asked her,’ Now that you can see the world, will you
marry me?'
The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was
blind. The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected that.
The thought of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry
him.
Her boyfriend left her in tears and days later wrote a
note to her saying: 'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before they were
yours, they were mine.'
This is how the human brain often works when our status
changes.
Only a very few remember what life was like before, and
who was always by their side in the most painful situations.
Life Is a Gift
Today before you say an unkind word -
Think of someone who can't speak.
Before you complain about the taste of your food - Think
of someone who has nothing to eat.
Before you complain about your husband or wife - Think of
someone who's crying out to GOD for a companion.
Today before you complain about life -
Think of someone who died too young.
Before you complain about your children -
Think of someone who desires children but they're barren.
Before you argue about your dirty house someone didn't
clean or sweep -
Think of the people who are living in the streets.
Before whining about the distance you drive
Think of someone who walks the same distance with their
feet.
And when you are tired and complain about your job -
Think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish
they had your job.
But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning
another -
Remember that not one of us is without sin and we all
answer to one MAKER.
And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down -
Put a smile on your face and thank GOD you're alive and
still around.
And before you think of signing out, know that life is a
complete cycle which began in heaven and must surely end in heaven.
Lord we pray for the spirit of gratitude and
perseverance. Let us know that when things are not great, we must not be
overwhelmed with any thought of abandonment but to believe that You can still
raise us up from the dust. Just like Joseph, from pit to prison and then to
palace. Amen
Just checking in into His Presence...
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who
points out where the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have
done them better.
