It’s easy to envy others. Perhaps you have a friend who is happily dating someone and you’re single. It’s easy to envy them and want to be in a relationship too.
It’s hard to be happy when it feels like others have happiness and you don’t. However, the secret to living a happy life is simple, you’ve got to choose to give thanks and be content even when you don’t feel it.
I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. – Phil 4:11 (NIV)
Paul didn’t always feel it. There were times when he was going through some really tough stuff. Yet, even in the middle of all the hardships, he found ways to be content.
That’s what you’ve got to do too. You’ve got to choose to be content. Even if you’re single. Even if you haven’t met that right person yet. Choose to give thanks to God.
Today’s Truth – Give Thanks
Giving thanks can even be like a faith step. You might not have met the right person to date yet, but that’s ok. You can choose to thank God and be happy in the season you’re in.
