The point is you don't have to be a perfect person to live for God and not
only that there's always gonna be something in your life that's going
wrong like your life's never gonna be perfect and some people the reason why
they're so unhappy is because they are trying to have a perfect life and
they're unhappy because they just they always feel like they're almost there
and then something goes wrong you know I'm just about to turn the corner
financially here's it's it's round you're in a you're in a you're in a
round room trying to turn the corner all right there's no corner and here's the
thing I guarantee this and I'm not trying to just be a downer I guarantee
this when you turn the corner financially and you're like man my
finances are great then your health will go bad or your relationships will go bad
or your job will go bad or something why because our life is never going to be
perfect so you have to learn like the Apostle Paul said in whatsoever state
you are there with to be content you've got to learn to be content don't just
be like oh man once I get my finances straighten out then I'll be happy once I
could get my marriage straightened out then I'll be happy once I can get my
wayward children straightened out and on track then I'll be happy once I can get
my church to man if I could just get in the right church if I could just get in
a church that's preaching the truth man then everything's gonna be great yeah
except what about all the people that are in a great church and still whining
about something else and complaining and murmuring why because there are two
kinds of people in this world people that are people that are content people
that are not content it has nothing to do with their circumstances if you're
the Apostle Paul you can be content in jail you can be content in a shipwreck
you can be content in any situation because he said I've learned in
whatsoever state I am there with to be content and then other people you can
give them all these luxuries and they're always gonna find something wrong with
it well but you know look at Haman Haman's the perfect example the book of
Esther he's got ten sons he's got riches power fame honor and he literally says
well none of this avail of me anything as long as I see Mordecai the Jew you
know not bowing to me so it's like one thing in his life just negates all the
good things for him and you know what people are like that everything's great
in their life is all my finances it's like what about your health you're in
perfect health what about your wonderful wife what about your wonderful children
you know or it's just like oh man my marriage work hey are you saved are you
going to heaven don't seek to have a perfect life because you're gonna be a
super unhappy person since it's never gonna happen you're chasing something
that doesn't exist no one's life is perfect no one's and the people that you
envy because all you see is what they post on Facebook where they they really
polished the apple and paint a really rosy picture guess what you don't see
all the ugly things in their life I guarantee you that they're there
everybody has bad things and and and and pain and suffering and just problems and
if it's not relationships if it's not family if it's not fine it's always
gonna be something now you say well I don't know I know some people they just
seem like they're always happy and everything's it's not because their
life's perfect it's because they've learned in whatsoever state they are in
to be content that's why they're always jovial and happy and and they seem like
everything's going great because you know what to them it is going great
because they're just they're just focusing on all the good things
