Sometimes we spend so much time focusing on what we don’t have that we completely overlook everything we’ve already been given. Every new day, every lesson learned, every relationship, every opportunity, and every challenge you’ve overcome is evidence that your life has already been filled with blessings.

The more grateful you become, the more clearly you begin to see the abundance surrounding you. Gratitude doesn’t ignore life’s difficulties. It simply reminds you that God’s goodness has been present through every season. Count your blessings often, because a grateful heart always sees more reasons to hope. Your blessings become easier to recognize the moment you stop comparing your life to someone else’s.
