In our lives, we are often encouraged to want what others have or just to want more for ourselves. In a world that thrives on envy and selfish ambition, we are called to be more and do more. We need a different mindset to move closer to God!
When we look at our lives, we need to look at what's around us. We can live in an environment that breeds envy and selfishness or we can position ourselves in ways that promote love, giving, and helping one another. God can help us see our purpose beyond the "stuff" of this world, beyond the evil and disorder in our lives. When we seek God's will, we can find His goodness and order as we serve Him and those around us!
Instead of envy and selfishness, allow God to lead you in loving and giving!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your love and order in my life. Help me to always seek You and to follow Your examples so I can serve You and others. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
