Hello, ladies!
I'm a college student, and almost always surrounded by folks who I'm CERTAIN are gonna end up on posters and in the news and MAKING the news, and doing what God has called them to do. Anyway, lately I don't like hearing the good news og God's blessings from folks, I feel down about myself, and get somewhat depressed. I noticed this not too long ago, and have been praying for God to help me not "knock" the blessings he gives to His children, and to be happy for them. But sometimes their amazing (earthly) accomplishments get to my core, and I feel rotten. I know that's not of God, that's pride and envy. Anyway, any tips on how I can remember to be happy for others, the way others are happy for me, and the way God is happy for me? It's to the point where I don't like asking people how they're doing, because I know they've got so much going for them, and I've even stepped back away from some friendships.
Thoughts?
