Last night my husband and I were up till 2am talking. We were discussing issues I have with being so frustrated with people, in my life, who have a lot. A lot, meaning finical freedom, money to do, and have, what ever they want. This is where my frustration, or jealousy comes in. I feel, I am mostly on the path to righteousness. Constantly striving to better myself. As a family we work hard to make God the number one priority. Yet in the finical area, we are slowly crawling out of the hole we dug ourselves in. So here is the question. Why do people, who do not have God as the number one priority, seem to have and get whatever they want? Not just because they are good stewards of their money. They just seem to always have it (money). And how in the world can my husband be genuinely excited for them. On a side note, if you don't know him, he is one of the most amazing men on the face of the planet. And it isn't because he is my husband either. He truly is astonishing. OK, back to the topic. Last night talking with Christian I finally got it. God is most Glorified in me, when I am most satisfied in Him! He kept saying it over and over. It was the answer to every question I had for him. I finally said "I hear what you are saying" Christian's reply was "No you don't" Then he said "Heather, we may not have everything we want. But God is most Glorified in us, when we are most satisfied in Him." I think this is when it clicked. He went on to say "What is so sad, is God is not Glorified in there lives. Because they are not satisfied in Him." DING DING DING I got it! And I will never question this subject again. This will forever be my motto for life!
