By nature we are so selfish and self-centered that we're filled with covetousness and envy. We often feel that we should be blessed and no misfortune should come our way.
True love consists of contentment with what we have and satisfaction with the place in our life where God has us. Rejoicing with others in their blessings and weeping at other's misfortune are good characteristics to have.
Remember, your candle of life will not burn less brightly because another outshines it. Nor will your walk in life be less important because another does or gives more!
Have a good day!
Love,
Dad
"Whatever makes us more and more able to enjoy making much of God is a mercy. For there is no greater joy than joy in the greatness of God. And if we must suffer to see this and savor it most deeply, then suffering is a mercy. And Christ's call to take up our cross and join Him on the Calvary road is love."
-John Piper, "Don't Waste Your Life"
