Who’s to Blame.. God or You?
Alot of people in this world are not contented with what they have, or have had . Well, for me, it is not a bad thing. It is always a good thing to dream for a better life for you and for the ones you love. It is not bad to aim higher and be ambitious with what you want to become. On the other hand, some people are just contented with what they have and how simple a life they are living. They will just go with the flow, “If it happens, then so be it, and if not, it will be just fine”.
They always believe that everything that happens to us are all of God’s will. Well, I also believe in that but, I do believe as well that you are what you make yourself. Everything that is happening to your life is in your hands and no one is in better control of it but you and the God above.
Here is one example, a guy who always go to the church and pray to God that he wins the lottery. He kept on coming back to the church just to ask God, of course always the same thing. He did not even bother to thank God for the food he eats everyday, for the clothes he wears and not even for the shelter he’s living. But you know what is stupid? He did not even buy a ticket to win the lottery. See how stupid that was? He even felt bad about it and got mad at Jesus for not letting him win, ain’t that a piece of stupidity?
Whether we admit it or not, we get upset if we don’t get what we want. We keep on asking God why and what’s wrong? Why aren’t we as fortunate as other people? Why they can get everything they want in just a snap of a finger? Why they can buy expensive clothes and not worry about what they will eat the next day? Why they can afford to buy an expensive meal which is already enough to feed five families?
Yes! A lot of questions you will have to ask or always asks God. But, aren’t you wondering what circumstances those fortunate people had to overcome? Aren’t you wondering how many meals they skipped just to be in the place where they are right now? Aren’t you wondering how bravely they had to be to spend the night in some alley in the cold rain, just because they didn’t have a shelter to come home to?
What they have been through made them stronger and fortunate as what they are now. If you want to win the lottery, of course you have to be sure you buy a ticket. If you are dreaming to have a better life, dont be just praying and praying. God wants to see some action! Initial moves for your future must be made that will lead you to a wealthy life. Everybody deserves a wealthy life, it is up to you if you will claim it or just be content with what you think God has given you.
So, make a move and enjoy your steak dinner in a fancy restaurant. Sounds good right? Because, definitely it tastes good. And you deserve it!
Always remember, you are what you make yourself. God is not to blame.. It’s You!
