Dealing with Trials

There are few sins worse than self-pity.  Self-pity erases our acknowledgement of our loving Heavenly Father who is holding our riches and is able to make all grace abound in our lives.  Self-pity also cuts off our ability to be vessels of the loving kindness that Our Lord has shared with us.  No matter how hard our circumstances seem, let us always seek comfort in our divine provision and not in ourselves.

Considering the abundance that awaits us for an eternity, whining over our trials here on earth seems a bit foolish.  How could we ever feel shortchanged in anyway with the King of the Universe residing within us, preparing us to spend the rest of eternity with Him?  Our joy should be so immense that all things of discomfort should pale in significance.
