I think that sometimes people don't realize the purpose that God actually has for their lives. Sometimes what you want isn't actually what you're put here for. You may want things for the wrong reasons and not realize it. I use to want to be famous. So, that all the people in the world who I felt had ever wronged me could see my success. It's one thing to be successful, but it's another thing for people to know years later that, "yea...you slept on me,but I've come up!" You know what I mean? But, then I realized that the only reason God gives you gifts is for the betterment of his kingdom. Meaning, he gives you wealth to share with others. He gives you a voice, to inspire others. He give you hands to help others. So, if me being famous or wealthy won't improve someone elses life and bring them closer to God, then I don't want it. And, really sometimes you have to be careful of what you ask for. Just look at those celebrities whose fame ruined their lives. The grass is not always greener.
This world we live in is only temporary. The things that you think are important, really are meaningless in the grand scheme of life. Who cares if someone doesn't like you. Who cares if someone was mean to you or hurt you at one point. If you understood your purpose you'd realize that all that matters at the end, is the change you made on earth while you had the grace of God to be here.
When my grandfather died I realized something. I realized that at the end of your life, those that matter will be there. Your family and friends. Everybody else, probably died off anyway. lol. Just joking. But really, try to focus on the positive. Life is full off too much negative as is. I'm grateful for the second chance He gives me everyday. Remember if you're still here, there's a reason. Talk to God. Figure it out before it's too late.
So, what are you going to do with the second chance you get everyday?
