Message
The story was told of a politician who engaged in lavish spending and lived large as a result of the wealth he got through corruption. His children went to the best school in town, lived in the best house and drove the best cars, but he lacked peace. On the other hand, Damian lived with his parents in a modest house, he went to the school his parents could afford, they had no car, yet they were happy because they were satisfied with what they had, they were simply better.

To be simply better is to be satisfied with what God has given to you, there is no room for complaining and murmuring, but accepting what you have and being grateful to God for it. By doing so, God will give you much more than what you have and even go further to give you what you did not ask for.
Do not be envious of the riches of the wicked, it is like a flower that fades away after some time. You should be satisfied with what your parents give you and the blessing of God shall be upon you.

Prayer for today: I pray for grace to be satisfied with what God has given to me.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
