“Don’t be arrogant”, is what my family always tells me.  When I was a little kid I didn’t understand why you shouldn’t brag. “You should only brag if you had something to brag about” is what I always said and thought.  Though now that I’m older and that I’ve been through more I realize what it means.

It means that if it wasn’t for God we wouldn’t be able to accomplish anything. It is from God that we get the ability to accomplish everything we do.

No matter what anyone thinks of this – it’s true.  God created us so without us being created we wouldn’t be able to do anything.  That’s why we have to always take the time to thank Jesus for everything he’s done for us.  

Although, just because nothing would happen if it wasn’t for God. We should make an effort and not expect him to come to our every beckon call. We have to work too and we have to follow Jesus’s commandments.  Jesus is not a genie. Even though Jesus is mighty and powerful we have to consider him and his feelings. Think about how he must feel when people just try to use him to get what they want.
