To want something and not get it and to be unsure about how to respond when someone else gets what we wanted. Isn’t that such a hard, horrible feeling?

I've been mulling this idea over for about 3 years. I've had a hard time truly rejoicing in a few situations because my heart hurt knowing I was not going to get something that a friend was getting. But recently I had a revelation...God had answered a longtime prayer 3 years ago and I hadn't been thankful lately. It has inspired thankfulness and contentment in me just to acknowledge God's past goodness and given me confidence that He has it all under control, knowing what's best for me and my family.

Would that "thing" be good for me? Would I be willing to give God the glory if I "got" it? Lots of thoughts on this one….am I willing to do what they did to get what they got?
Would that “thing” be good for me? Would I be willing to give God the glory if I “got” it?

Only by God's grace! I think it's easier when it's not something you want desperately - but then again, I probably learn more about myself (yuck) and more about God's love and blessings when it IS something that is a strong desire.
