When gratitude seems elusive in life’s trials and tribulations. Bad things happen in all of our lives, Jesus even told us we would have many problems, but not to worry because He has overcome the world.  I remind myself to make a mental list of all the things for which I can be grateful. This simple act constantly encourages me by shifting my perspective from what is lacking to what already exists in abundance around me. Helen Keller once wisely remarked, “The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.”These profound words resonate deeply with me as they highlight the importance of keeping our focus on something greater than ourselves.

And so, like an unwavering beacon guiding ships through treacherous waters, I fix my gaze upon Jesus– a source of unending love and unwavering support. In moments when despair threatens to consume me entirely, I am very thankful that he strengthens and comforts me as I keep my eyes on Him. ~ Bill Greguska

 

Philippians 4:12  I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.

Be Thankful; It Could Be Worse!

Realize That Things Could Be Worse! NeedEncouragement.com

Count your blessings, not your problems! Things could be worse!

Your situation might be challenging right now, but it could be worse. Sometimes it is good to see some of the bad that could have happened to you. It puts your present and past pain and bad memories into perspective. The expression is true that it is always darker before dawn. Whatever God allows your life, He has a plan and reason for that.

Be patient and trust that God is in control and that you will soon find out why God allows certain things to happen to you in your life.  Trust in God because He will never leave you or forsake you, even during bad times. When we choose the broad road instead of the narrow highway, we can be assured that at some point or another, the result of taking the wide road will boomerang back in negative ways. That is because the broad road is not God’s road. That is how things could be worse when we take the wide road. ~ Bill Greguska
