Then move not while my prayer's effect I take, Thus from my lips, by thine my sin is purg'

As I look around my life and the world that surrounds me, I can’t help but just a little envious and jealous over others. Seeing couples walking around, people getting rich, friends around having fun going out and staying out late… etc.

While I’m here, getting no social life, have to slog at work (job attachment) and spending my weekends at church and family. I admit I do feel at times, like crying out to God, “how come I don’t get what people around are having?” I know you also feel the same way as I do right? At times we wonder why people around as seems so carefree and having fun, on the other hand we are here trying to remain pure and righteous for out Lord Jesus Christ.

You fill this part yourself, “Lord, how come I serve in ________, ________ and ________ (ministries). I gave You ________, __________ and _________ (your possessions) but I not getting ___________(what you desire).

This kinda happened to me recently. But as I was complaining to God about it, it suddenly dawn upon me that God has given more than what I deserve.

Imagine, You had a relative, uncle Frank lets say. You know a rich uncle Frank. You visit him once or twice every year, but you hardly talk to him. And you don’t like him. In front of other relatives, you greet him, say hi, but inside you, you wish you weren’t here. One day, you wanted something, say $100 but your parents didn’t want to give it to you. So you decided to put off your pride and ask uncle Frank for it. He too refused. You got angry with him and started the ignore-uncle-frank campaign. One fateful day, he passed away, and in His will he has endowed you $5000.

That’s how our Lord Jesus Christ is. We may ask things for him, say, a partner in life to help you with your life’s purpose, a comfortable life, a PSP or even a nice house by the seaside. But it seems like He didn’t want to give us. And not only that, He seem to have given it to others.

But have you thought of this. We don’t deserve anything we have now. A family to care for you, you current job that brings home the bread, the car that is good enough to drive you around, even a nice church with nice people and the life we have.

Most of all we don’t even deserve the greatest thing that God has given us. Salvation from wraths of sins. We never deserve all these, and our Lord by his immeasurable grace and mercy, has given all these things to us. How shameful of us to ask for God even more!!!

Remember my dear friends, God not only created us, He has also purchase us with His life to save us from the vice of hell. Therefore, we can say, we own God twice over. How dare we even have the cheek to ask God for more… we should ought to be feeling guilty of our actions.

Thus brothers and sisters, instead of complaining to God of the earthly short falls that we seem to be lacking. Lets give thanks to Him for everything that by His grace has given us and pray that thru His sovereignty will we receive more blessings.

Jeremiah 29:11-12 says is all.
11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. (NIV)
