Be Content

Everyone complains right? We might not do it out loud but thinking about it still counts.
Everyday, we murmur at least once. If we are late to school, we might complain that the alarm clock didn't go off. Our complaints may also lead to blaming others. "My alarm didn't work because Sis unplugged it for her cell charger!" And when we point fingers, it leads to anger and we start bickering with each other. We should just be content and understand that God is taking care of our lives and that it's His will. Maybe, He allowed our alarm clocks to be off so that we could avoid a car accident on the way to school.
Usually, we complain about our outward appearance and the material things we have. Have you heard the story about a girl who complained that her shoes were too worn and old? Well, when she saw a man without legs and feet, she realized that she was being selfish and that she should be content about her old shoes.
Imagine yourself in her place. What if you're complaining about you're ears being to big and then you see someone who can't even hear and speak because of their lack of hearing?
It's good to have ears that can hear right?
We should really be content with how God made us!

I Thessalonians 5:18
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
