Hey guys! I just wanted to wish you all a very happy & blessed Thanksgiving! π In this age of social media, it can be hard to be grateful. It can begin to seem like nothing is good enough if you succomb to the pressure.π§ Especially around the holidays when everything seems to demand an extra level of “perfection.” But I always say, aim for excellence, not perfection. Because perfection is just a mirage. It is not real. The reality, is that there’s always “flaws,” & that is great! We just need to give all of that to the Lord, & be happy & content with what we have, or else we will be in a state of constant ungratefulness, insatisfaction, & even sadness & anxiety, & the Lord doesn’t want that for us. The Lord can take anything in yourself or your life you deem a “flaw” & use it for His glory! ππ» You just have to give Him your heart, trust in Him, be obedient, & He will do the work! ππ»β€
π Being grateful is about being content with what you have, & recognizing the blessings from the LORD! ππ»πππ» It brings peace & joy into your heart. π
π Jesus is what’s important, being in His presence, being filled with God’s love & sharing that love with others! It really doesn’t matter if you have the most “perfect” outfit, etc. π What matters is having the love of God fill our hearts, which without we will be left feeling empty & eternally unsatisfied.
β€ The more we share God’s love & our blessings with others, the more blessed we will be!! πππ» π If you have a hard time feeling God’s love, gratitude, peace, or joy, ask God to fill you with the Holy Spirit & to make you aware of anything you need to change within yourself, ask for forgiveness of your sins, & to remove anything that doesn’t please Him from your life. ππ»
π By having God’s love in your heart & sharing it with others & sharing your blessings, is the way to have the most EXCELLENT & dare I say truly perfect holiday! ππ
