Do you have good health? Perhaps you eat right, exercise, and generally take care of yourself. That’s great! But there is still a huge percentage that is out of your control. If you were born with a genetic or other medical issue that prevents you from exercising, do you take credit for that? Of course not! It was out of your control. So was being born with no genetic or medical issues…
The point is, there are things we can control, and things we cannot. We cannot control being born healthy or unhealthy – or even being born at all! We need to remember that the most important things in life are things like inhaling, thinking clearly, and love – not what kind of car we drive, house we own, or pant size we wear.
I know that God exists, and I further know that I exist only because of and for Him. I have done nothing to boast of, but my God has. He breathed life into me; He led me through the darkest times in my life; He blessed me beyond measure.
What do you have that God hasn’t given you? And if everything you have is from God, why boast as though it were not a gift? (1 Corinthians 4:7b)
I am here on this earth to honor and glorify Him with my God-given gifts. And whether you believe it or not, so are you.
