I have a word from the Lord for you today… ”Enjoy what you have!”
The Lord has been so very good to you, He has given you so much… enjoy what you have! The devil wants to steal what you have – one way that he steals is to trick people into looking past what they have to what they do not have.
I had a friend visiting here in Hawaii a while ago… as he looked around, he said, “It is so beautiful here, nobody can ever be depressed over here” – sad to say, Hawaii ranks number two in depression out of all of the states, right behind Alaska. Thousands of believers suffer from severe depression in Hawaii… Even though they live in Paradise, they do not see the mountains, the beautiful ocean, the gorgeous sunsets, or any of the breathtaking beauty that surrounds them… they look past what they have to whatever causes their depression. (I understand that there are many causes that attribute to depression, but many are depressed, simply because they have stopped appreciating what they do have and have started looking at all of the things that they do not have.)
If you have family, enjoy them, appreciate them, bless them and take the time to invest in them… if you have friends, do the same, if you have a roof over your head, a car to drive, clothes to wear… enjoy it and appreciate it. Notice the nature around you and enjoy it… it may not be Hawaii, but it has a beauty of it’s own. Be thankful, value what you have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance to the full, till it overflows, in Jesus Name!
Blessings on you, Nick
