I'll take Jesus EVEN if...

The study today at Emergence was on Malachi 3:1-4.  How do you view God?  Do you judge him because of what you don't have and what others have?  Are your friends who are non-Christian having a better life than you?  Life isn't about what you have and don't have, it's about living in God.  Today really opened my eyes.  For a long time I've been comparing what others have and questioning, why does so and so have this and I don't?  Why are they getting married and I'm still single?  Why do they make more money than I do? Why did they have a solo recital and I didn't?  I really should have been saying, I'll take Jesus and rely on Him EVEN IF I'm single and alone.  I'll take Jesus and live in Him EVEN IF I am low on money.  I'll take Jesus and live in Him EVEN IF I don't have a solo and work hard.  I'll take Jesus no matter what life throws at me.  So, what do you choose?
