What about me?

Today I hope that this entry brings you encouragement. So last night I was talking with a friend and we talked about how we get mad or sad when we see good things happen to people all around us. Whether it's realational, financial, or whatever it maybe. We talked about how crappy it feels sometimes when this happens and we think that how comes these things aren't happening to us? We might feel that we should be getting these things because we serve God and that we should see the blessings of that. I know I've been struggling with this issue. I've asked God why can't I have those things, what about me God? As me and my friend kept talking I just was reminded of a thought my professor shared with us in class, I might have blogged about it before but the thought was is God just being enough for us? The correct answer is it should be but I know that's kind of a hard thing to swallow. How easily we forget what God has done for us in our lives, we can share countless hours of stories but here's one story that we should always remember. Next time you have that question, what about me, remember the cross. I could see God's answer for that question would be; " I did it for you". Now take some time to think about that. God died for me. He died so that we can have a relationship with him, so we can have forgivenss, and because he loves us so much that he wanted to make a way for us to spend eternity with him. Shouldn't that be enough?
So what about you, what about us? I know that we are humans and we are not perfect and sometimes we just forget about what God did for us. If we want to be free of this what about me thing, we need to remember how much God cares for us. Matthew 6: 25-34 helps in this area. I'm not going to tell you what it says because I believe that we need to read it for ourselves and that God will speak directly to you. To leave you with some encouragement I would like to tell you that God loves you and cares more about you and your future more then you do. God loves you so much that he wants to bless you with the desires of your heart. He wants to bring you comfort, peace, and blessings to every area of your life. I'm not just saying that, he did. If you didn't know that open your bible and see for yourself :-)!!!
So my prayer for us today is that we would be encouraged by knowing that God loves us, and is always there for us. I pray that we would trust him with every area of our lives because he know what's best for us and he knows exactly what we need. I pray for the strenght to continue to give him our hopes and dreams and that we let God be God.
