When I worry about others recognizing how special I am or giving me praise for what I do, I am miserable. When people treat me in a way I think is unfair, I am miserable. When I thank God for the gifts he has given me and I give those gifts away freely I am happy. When I thank God for being chose. To suffer for him, I have much joy.
I know this and still I fret that people don't thank me or consult me. I feel slighted if someone doesn't compliment me or like what I do. I need to drink the idea of Perfect Joy into my soul. I know people who have amazing gifts fromGod that they don't enjoy because they don't feel people appreciate them enough(me sometimes). Patience is a sign of Perfect Joy and I want that.
