To be satisfied with our lives
We rarely think about our death. We do everything to avoid it! But sometimes it is good to stop and examine the direction of our life. If we would die now, would we be satisfied with what we leave behind?

When we confidently say that everything is fine with us, it usually means that we have everything we want and that our plans are coming true. But does God have the same definition of well-being?
This challenge we face takes over our thoughts. So much so that it can prevent us from sleeping or finding appropriate solutions. Worry suffocates us: we have to get rid of it!
A glass of cold water on a hot day is a relief! A small, simple service that can make a big difference. That is what our Heavenly Father encourages us to do toward each other.
Sometimes we feel compelled to respond to an offense against us by inflicting the same offense on the person who gave it to us. We want to “make them pay”. This form of resentment only sows poison in our relationships.
How much time do any of us have left in this life? When is it finally time to do what you know you are supposed to do? How long are we going to make God wait before we start working with Him on the plan He prepared for us?
We sing beautiful songs to our God, telling Him that we surrender ourselves to Him, that He is our King. But daily, is He our God or just one source among many others?
It’s easy to get distracted by our desires and dreams, or even by conflicts and problems. Besides, there is nothing wrong with working at these earthly things, but on the condition that you have first pursued God, daily.
Our Heavenly Father is so generous. When we follow His ways, He leads us into wonderful blessings. But let’s be careful, if we don’t take good care of these beautiful fruits of God, they can rot and poison our lives.
Everything God has created is wonderful. It is a way to remind us of God’s love and power. But we are His creation aswell: does our life lead those around us to praise God?
