Feel So Blessed

I feel so blessed, so so BLESSED.

I don't understand (in Indonesia "engga ngerti lagi") how GREAT, how KIND, how AMAZING Jesus is. Like He is beyond everything I could imagine.

I've never been a good daughter for Him. I sin a lot. I go far across His line. I run from Him. I have no good at all. Yet He grants me His blessings, ALWAYS. Abundantly. Never ending.

Here is my perspective about feeling blessed.

Feeling blessed doesn't always mean you got everything or you're superior than your other peers. It's about your attitude toward things you got. It's about feeling content and thankful to God for it.

This is what Paul said about contentment:

I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. - Philippians 4:11

So you know contentment is fundamental in feeling blessed. It's not easy for being grateful, saying to yourself that you have enough. One of human nature I know is greediness. Yeah, we always want more more more. One is never enough. That's why I always pray to God that I want to be more thankful in everything.

Another thing about feeling blessed for me is trust. Trust means you put aside all your opinion, your conviction about what's good for you and leave it all to God. Why?

Because this is what the bible says:

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. - Jeremiah 29:11

It's just too good to be true, ain't it? :) When you have faith in God, you trust Him with all of your heart, you have no worry of the future. You'll be thankful of things God gives to you because you know it's the best for you! You'll feel blessed!

These are some of great quotes I got that I really like. Hope that these will build your faith up and make you feel more blessed.

Friends, never stop being thankful for what He has done. God is good! If you want anything, just ask. He will give you not what you want, but what you need. But I tell you something, He always listens. Maybe your list meet His criteria of best things He wants to give :)

FEEL SO BLESSED! :D
