It's all good

The beauty of the Christian life is that we have learned to be happy in any situation; it’s all good!

A few years ago a young lady attended our worship service and sat smiling on the second row. I recognized her presence and asked her to stand, but someone whispered to me that she had no legs. Embarrassed, I tried to play it off and told her to wave her hand. That’s when they told me that she had no arms.

She wasn’t offended but kept a big smile on her face because without arms or legs she has led a happy life, had a boyfriend, and believe it or not was once suspended from school for fighting. And she won!

She dresses herself, gets around by herself, feeds herself, and seems to be the happiest person around.

She learned to live with conditions that others thought were handicaps and enjoys every day of her life.

As Christians, we have learned to enjoy the life God has given us. Sometimes we have and sometimes we don’t have. We can be happy either way.

Philippians 4:12 says, "I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry,^y whether living in plenty or in want.

The secret to happiness is giving God thanks for what you have without complaining about what you don’t have.

It’s all good because it's the life God gave us to live.
