I've noticed lately that there are a lot of people who aren't grateful for what they have. They always want more, more, more.
I am one of them.
I think we all are. I try not to be. I try to look at what I do have, how blessed I am, rather than what I don't have and what I want, but it's hard. I have lived most of my life wanting more and not seeing what really matters.
What I really want is to be closer to God. I don't want to admit it, but I've been ignoring Him a little bit lately. I haven't been listening, and last night I realized that. I need to become closer to Him, and learn to love and be thankful, rather than hate and want more.
I think we all should. I think if people ever had a choice between saving their own life and saving the life of a complete stranger, they should pick the stranger. I think we need to learn to put others before ourselves. Nearly nobody does it. We need to. We need to love other more than ourselves.
People have fallen so far. Sometimes I wish God would flood the earth again, but He said He won't. If everyone learned to help each other, there would be no need for money or power-hungry governments. There are so many people out there who need helping, and so many just don't want to help, or don't care.
I want to help. I want to spend my life bettering others'.
Just some thoughts I had as I couldn't sleep.

So true. I wonder why the need to be self-serving is so strong especially if God is screaming for us to help one another and come back to Him. Hmmm....
