I recently sat with my friend and talked about my life-long battle with self confidence and feeling inadequate. And how God through the scriptures is helping me.
I have been observing something, that there can be a temptation to be recency-biased when it comes to the things we are grateful for. When you come through a challenging situation and get some breakthroughs, it’s easy to just focus most of ones gratitude on only the recent challenging situation you came through, but I think this can limit our gratitude.
This year, I didn't smile all the smiles I had hoped for but I look back on the year with glee at the number of people I made smile this year. Some I will never meet, and others I see and talk to daily. To another year, God willing, of making many more smiles.
