Jesus... Have you ever seen the movie, "Jesus?" I don't know if it is nearly as accurate as "The Passion of the Christ," but it is a little bit easier to watch. It's one of my favorite movies. When I picture Jesus in my head, I picture the gentleman who played Him in that movie. I don't know what Jesus looks like, but I have a perfect picture in my head of what my Jesus looks like. I often flip to the book of Matthew in the Bible to read about Jesus and I often put in that movie to have a picture in my head.
We go through so much day to day and we complain, "gripe" and grumble but have you ever taken a look back at your life and realized how blessed you really are? Is it worth all of the grumbling? I read about Jesus, and I read things Jesus has said and I am reminded what he went through, for me, and for you. Do you realize that without him we may not be here today? Do you realize how much pain and suffering he went through? Then, how can you complain right now? You are alive, walking, breathing, and most of you don't live a very shabby life. If you are reading my blog, you are on a computer; probably your own. This also means you have some form of Internet, right? Do you know how many people live without those things in their lives?
We all have bumps in the road but we should all be thanking God everyday for the many blessings that we have in our everyday lives. Have you thanked God for that drink of water you just had? Some people don't have clean running water. What about that vacation you keep talking about? Have you thanked him for the job that you have that gave you the money for that vacation? What about your family? I know for certain that your family life isn't always the best? Everyone disagrees, even the best of relationships have disagreements. Don't annex family out of your life, one day they may be all you have. Forgiveness, also mentioned in the book of Matthew; Matthew 6:14-15, For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you; but if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Please forgive. There is no use in being against people, be the good person and forgive and move on. Your life will be so much better, and God will forgive you.
Sometimes I just get so fed up. Some people don't even take the time to realize what they do have. They spend all their lives talking about what they wish they had, or wishing they had what someone else had. Feel blessed with what you do have and promise me today that you will remember what Jesus went through for us. I can bet you it was a million times worse than the stress that you have been through this week. Kneel and pray, right now. Thank God for your life, and thank Him for giving you His life.
