I had to steal this blog post from a friend. It was too much of a blessing not to pass along…

This is from a book called Captured by Grace by David Jeremiah:

• If you own a Bible, you are abundantly blessed. Most people in the world do not.
• If you awoke this morning more healthy than ill, you are more blessed than one million people who will not survive the week.
• If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation, you are ahead of more then 5oo million people around the world.
• If you have food in your refrigerator, cloths on your back, a roof over your head, and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of this world.
• If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish somewhere, you are among the top 8% of the world’s wealthy.
• If you prayed yesterday and today, you are in the minority because you believe in God’s willingness to hear and answer prayer.
• If you have the ability to choose between churches where you may freely worship, you have a blessing many people in this world do not.
• If you are a devoted follower of Jesus Christ, you live with the daily assurance that you will have eternal life, and that your Savior has gone to prepare a mansion for you in glory. Millions of people believe this sad life is all there is.

I have to agree with my friend that I also do feel blessed to have a God that has truly supplied all I need.
