Do you know that you can be surrounded by all these blessings, all these relationships, goodness, provisions, opportunities? But if you don't know how to turn the blessing into praise, it will turn into pride and your life will never be filled with joy because your heart has holes in it.Patience Johnson
About This Quote
When you are surrounded by godly people, there is no need to be jealous because you know that you are loved. The only thing that matters is being happy because you have been blessed. You can have everything in life including a good family, a good job and a good life. But if you do not know how to praise God for what he has done, your life will become empty.
