I’m sure most of you remember who used to say this a lot. Think back to your past. I’ll give you a hint, his girlfriend is a pig. Yep, it’s Kermit the Frog. He was often quoted as saying that about his life. For some odd reason, I started to think about that just this past week.
I think this can relate very easily to our lives. You see, you and I are Kermit. (No, I’m not saying your spouse or significant other is a pig, and that your kid is a tadpole or piglet!) We look at our lives for what we are here on earth all the time. We complain because we don’t have enough money and can’t buy something, or are stuck at a job, or never get enough sleep, or that we’re green, etc. We don’t see where we stand in His Kingdom! We don’t realize on a day to day basis all the blessings that we have. We don’t see all that we have been given by Him.
You may ask why that is, right? It’s so easy because the world we live in tells us that we shouldn’t be happy. You should want better clothes, you should want the newest IPod or cell phones. We’re constantly told that we aren’t good enough without this or that, or that we don’t look good enough. We tend to measure ourselves on all the things that the world wants instead of what really matters: God.
My prayer for you this week is that you start to accept yourselves for who you are. You don’t NEED all the things of the world. I’m not mad at you if you get some of that stuff, and neither will He be. Yet, getting into debt or caught up in life is what leads to sin. Accept your place in His Kingdom. Accept who you are and why you were placed on this earth. Maybe your circumstances aren’t the best or you don’t have the best of everything. Yet, if this is where He wants you to be here and now, isn’t that all that matters? It’s time to accept what He has in store for your lives, even if you have to be green to fulfill it all.
