and give thanks whatever happens.
This is what God wants for you in
Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:16
is it possible to be more blessed...
and if it is am I not saying
I am not satisfied with Jesus?
for how could I be more blessed...
it is impossible...
for being blessed has nothing to do with
wealth
circumstances
broken dreams
broken hearts
what I do
what I do not do
would having all those around me united
make me more blessed?
would having all restored
make me more thankful?
of course I would be thankful...
but more thankful?
I think not
if all those for whom I pray
were to find life in Jesus
would my joy and gratitude
increase?
I think not...
for although I would be truly
grateful and joy filled
if I were to say I would be
more so
than am I not saying I am not content with today?
the paradox that lies within is this...
I would be overwhelmed with gratitude
if some circumstances were to change...
yet I would be no more
grateful
than I am today
in this very moment
in this very room
with everything exactly as it is
or with even less...
my heart might ache
yet my peace...my joy...my ability to say
and mean thank you to Jesus
with all that I am
would be no more
no less
because Jesus is enough
