Facing Reality with Gratitude
Adapted from Wake Up to the Word
A time will come, however, indeed it is already here, when the true (genuine) worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth (reality); for the Father is seeking just such people as these as His worshipers.
Somehow that is a reality check for me, and I quickly realize I need to deal with things the way they are, not the way I wish they were. It does no good to live in a false sense of reality. Whatever we have to deal with on a given day, we can do it with the help of God.
You are never going to have anyone else’s life, so wanting it is unrealistic and a waste of time. Learn to thank God for the life He has given you and make the most of each day with a thankful heart.
Prayer of the Day: God, help me accept what I cannot change, face each day with faith, and live thankfully for the life You’ve given me—just as it is, amen.
