Just read these quotes and they really struck a chord with me.
"A sense of entitlement is a cancerous thought process that is void of gratitude and can be deadly to our relationships."
"Beware: It is a quick transition from a nourishing sense of gratitude to a poisonous sense of entitlement." Steve Mariboli
In our jobs, in our serving in the community, in our family relationships - in our health - we can develop a sense of entitlement without being conscious of it. That is a slippery slope - we may not mean it, but our dissatisfaction is, in a way, saying "God, you messed up. I deserve way better than this." Not remembering that He sees the big picture and may have more in store than just happy feelings for us!!
I want to always have a sense of thankfulness for whatever I have and wherever I find myself!!
"Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death— even death on a cross!" Philippians 2:5-8
