In the future, think before you complain

I saw this article and decided to share it with you guys.

---

A blind girl hated herself because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She told her boyfriend, 'If only I could only see the world, I will marry you.'

One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend. He asked her, 'Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?'

The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind.

The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him. Her boyfriend left her in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying:

'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, before they were yours, they were mine.'

This is how our human nature (our flesh) often behaves... people even do this to God. When God blesses  us, restores to us or lifts us up, we tend to forget where it's all from. Only a very few remember what life was like before, and who was always by their side in the most painful situations. 

-Life Is a Gift from God. Today before you say an unkind word, think of someone who can't speak.

-Before you complain about the taste of your food, think of someone who has nothing to eat.

-Before you complain about your husband or wife, think of someone who's crying out to God for a companion.

-Today before you complain about life, think of someone who is no more.(None of us are here because we are so holy, but because of God's grace, love and mercy).

-Before you complain about your children, think of someone who desires children but has none. 

-Before you argue about your dirty house someone didn't clean, think of the people who are living in the streets.

-Before whining about the distance you drive, think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet(because he/she has no choice but to do so).

-And when you are tired and complain about your job , think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job.

-Before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another - Remember that not one of us is without error and we all answer to God our creator... everyone one of us will(including your pastors, priests, etc)

-And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on your face and thank God that you're alive and still around. 

1. I guess this story also applies to having and asking God for wisdom The boyfriend should have asked God for direction before giving his eyes away.
2. This could also be seen as Jesus giving his life away for us His children. When we turn away from Him and go back to our old ways, we adopt the role of the blind girl. See the relationship?

Have a lovely week everyone.
