As a believer in Christ—don’t focus on yourself; focus on all that you have in Christ!
“How’s life?” someone asks. And we who’ve been resurrected from the dead say things like…Well, things could be better…or, I couldn’t get a parking place… or, My parents won’t let me move to Hawaii.
Are you so focused on what you don’t have that you are blind to what you do? Paul asks in Philippians 2:1, “Have you received any encouragement? Any fellowship? Any consolation? Then don’t you have reason for joy?” You are blood-bought and heaven-made—a child of God! So be grateful and joyful! For isn’t it true? What you don’t have is much less than what you do! Don’t focus on yourself; focus on all you have in Christ!
