8 I
gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the
provinces: I gat me men singers and women singers, and the delights of the sons
of men, as musical instruments, and that of all sorts.
Ecclesiastes 2:8King James Version (KJV)
As a Christian, it's important you get the #Vision that life
is not about all the fancy things of life, but it's just about JESUS and doing
all the things HE has called you to do!
Poverty, fame, wealth, the pleasure of the opposite sex and
many more, are not good enough reasons to keep you going in life.
It is easy for someone to always attain the goal that he/she
has set, which explains the reason why one works hard, then, all of a sudden
emptiness and loneliness sets in. It's also easy for you to keep on chasing
what you want to be in the #Future and still never be #Grateful for what you
have, or never be satisfied with what you have when you all your dreams come
true.
44Again,
the #kingdom of #heaven is like unto #treasure hid in a field; the which when a
man hath found, he hideth, and for #joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he
hath, and buyeth that field. 45Again, the kingdom of heaven is like
unto a #merchant man, #seeking #goodly #pearls: 46Who, when he had
found one #pearl of #great #price, went and #sold all that he had, and bought
it. 47Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a #net, that was
#cast into the #sea, and #gathered of every kind: Matthew 14:44-47
When you make GOD the reason for your existence and why you
work hard, you enjoy the process of life. When there is little, or when you're
single or just waiting for a breakthrough, there will be joy in your heart. If
you keep your heart longing for something in the future, you won't enjoy the
beauty of the present! The beauty of waiting is awesome when you do it with
GOD. Look at all the awesome things that happened to Ruth on her road to being
married, "Sweet, Bitter and Sweet" story, or how Abraham waited for
his son Isaac. Impatience tends to make you worship your heart's desire, and
think that when you have it, your life will be complete or perfect.

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these
things shall be added unto you.
Matthew 6:33King James Version (KJV)
