It's a good life

       Living with a "my life will be better when this is over" state of mind has been on my mind lately. We may go through certain stages of life where we think we just have to simply endure and there's no way we can possibly enjoy what life has handed us now. To me it seems a person is ungrateful for what God has given them. We should feel blessed and honored to go through every part of life we go through for God has a special plan for every individual. In God's eyes we are significant and everything we go through is significant to His plan and is for our good. It's up to us if we want to look for the good in it. We should also think it a privilege to encounter hardships because Christ endured the cross for us. This life is short and we may be called into eternity at any moment. It's up to us what we make of our lives. A person with a thankful attitude is definitely a lot more refreshing to be around.    

2 Timothy 2:3

Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

Colossians 3:14-16

¹⁴ And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

¹⁵ And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
¹⁶ Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

Psalms 34:8 
O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
