Drops of Sunshine - Daily Bread

 

 

God has given us many things. But fear, hopelessness, depression, and things of that nature are not from him. Should you find yourself struggling in those areas, just have a little talk with Jesus and start your journey on the road of life free from those types of worries. Embrace a life of faith and trust God for the greater.

It's a beautiful thing to be cared for. God shows us that every single day that we are granted the opportunity to open our eyes. We lose sight of that when we focus more on our own strength. Instead, start each day with a reminder that God is in control and trust him in greater ways than you have ever before.  

 You can tell when someone didn't really want to give you something or when they didn't put much thought into something they give you. It's more meaningful when we're able to show that we care. The same goes for anything we give to others, but to our time with God as well. Shift from a compulsory way of thinking and do it because you want to. 

Who doesn't love a good gift? We put a lot of our energy into making sure our loved ones will love what we gift them. God is the same way for us. He unloads great gifts on us on a daily basis and so many people disregard it. Each day we wake, we should thank God for the gift of another opportunity of living and making better choices than we did the day before.

 It's easy to overlook the good when our minds are focused on the bad. When that happens, it's hard to actually see a break in our cloudy skies. That's why we need to be intentional with our thoughts on a daily basis. When there is no shortage of negativity, be more purposeful about seeing the good.

One of my favorite bible passages is Matthew 7. One of the verses speaks to the fact that we, in all our imperfections, recognize the value of a good gift. Knowing how much God loves us, we can be assured that he truly has no desire to withhold the good from us. We have to desire the same thing. As we delight in Him, he too in us.
