I'm really grateful for life.

Suffering really does make a person grateful for life, even breath. I just got back from running, and man it was painful. Like my heart hurt and everything which is not good, but genuinely the experience has made me so much more grateful for God. What I went through during those miles, however painful it was, was nothing compared to what Christ suffered on the Cross, and truly that made me all the more appreciate what Christ went through for us. Physical pain. Physical bleeding. Dying and bleeding out on that Cross. That must've been so so painful that we can't even imagine it. Yet He managed to do it with so much love, even for the people who crucified Him, which I mean, if any of us were in that situation getting unfairly crucified, we would definitely be in anger and pride. Anyway this is something I just want to share; that life is so valuable. It is so, so valuable that every breath that we breath today and the next, it is truly given to us. The fact that we can breath without pain, or the fact that we are alive in this moment right now is incredible. It is so good to be alive. What Christ gave us, eternal life but also life in this present moment, is truly something indescribable. So if you're gonna take anything away from this, just know that God gave you life for a reason. Don't waste your life on useless stuff that won't matter the next hour. Because the things you do now will affect who you become later in life and even who you are. So let us, then, knowing God to be the giver of life, thank Him always for giving unto us this wonderful life, that though can be painful at times, remind us all the more to grateful for even the little things we have. So yeah, stay humble, pray, and have a good rest of your day. God bless y'all, and truly, let us all be grateful for our lives. 

Glory and honor and worship to God, King of Kings, Lord of Lords!
