16 Because he was full of grace and truth, from him we all received one gift after another. John 1:16(NCV)

Have you taken the time lately to really think about the gifts that Christ has blessed you with over the years? I know sometimes we can get so caught up in what going wrong in our lives that we forget to acknowledge how we are blessed beyond measure on a daily basis. Unfortunately sometimes it takes the absence of our gifts for the vial to be taken off of our eyes, so that we realize how much God sustains us each day.
Think about it this way, your life is a gift. Every ability that you have, every resource that you have access to is only possible because of what the Lord has spoken into existence. Salvation is a gift. The fact that God was willing gave the life of His only son and that Jesus saw value in us so much so that He was willing to give his life for us speaks volumes about their love for us.
The grace of God is so amazing. He still cover us even when we don't acknowledge His hand on our lives. He never gives up on us because He loves us and wants us to succeed. He has given us purpose and the Lord will diligently pursue us until he see's the fruit of His works bloom in our lives.
So when you are tempted to complain I challenge you to shift your thinking from yourself and place your focus on God. Begin to list in your mind the gifts that God has given you over the years and think of how He has impacted your life through His grace. I guarantee that you'll lose count.
Listen, I know that life happens and we all have trails that we have to face but just take heart to that He is present in your life and He will never allow you to arrive at a crossroad that He isn't willing guide you through. You are covered and you will win just keep going and keep your eye's on the Lord.
Love,
