“You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing.” — Psalm 145:16
A friend of mine just got a phone—sleek, fast, and filled with impressive features. As we tested it together, I admired how well it functioned, and quietly, something in me wished for an upgrade too. I began to feel my phone was outdated, that I was missing out on something better.
But a few days later, something remarkable happened. I took time to explore my own phone. To my surprise, the very feature I admired in his device—what I thought made his better—was actually on mine too. I simply hadn’t looked deep enough to find it.
Many times in life, we envy others not because we lack, but because we haven’t discovered what we already have. We think someone else is better, more gifted, or more equipped—until we take a closer look inside ourselves. God has deposited treasures in you that only searching hearts can find. You don’t always need to change your life—you might just need to check again.
Some marriages aren’t failing—they just need rediscovery. Some dreams aren’t dead—they just need rekindling. Some people aren't behind—they're simply not aware of the grace they already carry.
The prodigal son wanted more, but he forgot he already lived in his father's house. Eve wanted to be "like God," not knowing she was already made in His image.
You are not empty. You are not lacking. Look deeper.
Let today be the day you stop comparing and start discovering. God has already placed in you more than you imagine—gifts, wisdom, peace, grace, solutions, and beauty. Don’t covet what others carry until you have searched your own soul. You might just realize—you’ve been carrying greatness all along.
And if only you would dare to explore your own life like I explored that phone.
You may just realize: the very thing you admire in others has always been in you too.
Because sometimes, God doesn’t need to add anything new to your life—He just needs you to recognize what’s already there.
