Let me tell you a short story of what has happened in my life for the past few months…
At the start of the year, God gave me plenty of new blessings and opportunities. Many challenges were also imparted unto me and of course, I was really happy… I was so busy these past few months that I forgot the reason and purpose of these things given unto me.
Last week, after I had a conversation with a friend regarding another opportunity, I was really overwhelmed. I mean in the career I am going through, these opportunites are really rare to come by and I was just so happy that I ALMOST accepted it, knowing that I still have pendings and other commitments to finish. Then suddenly I had this “ephiphany” as what my friend at the office told me…
At that moment, its as if God has spoken to me again, reminding me of the things that are in my possesion, the blessings that I have received, and the opportunites shown unto me. I recalled the infamous line of “Grab Opportunities if one comes along”, and I almost laughed by what I understood when I saw my current life and my current situation.
A test is what I feel God has put me through. I have accepted things that I am capable of doing but I never realized that maybe too much is enough. I realized that I have to be CONTENT on what I have and beRESPONSIBLE for the things that I have accepted.
Maybe God has been giving you more than enough of what you asked and most likely you are overwhelmed with joy and gladness. Its alright to grab all those opportunities and blessings that God entrusted to you but remember that we have to be Responsible with what we grab and be content with what we have.
When we ask for an apple and God gives you an Apple Tree, grab as many as you can but remember, we could always leave some apple in the tree for other people to grab. 🙂
God bless!
