LET THE LOWLY BROTHER GLORY IN HIS EXALTATION (James 1:9)
When a lowly brother finds himself dissatisfied and discouraged, he can always rejoice that he is an heir of God, and a joint heir with Jesus Christ. He can find consolation in the truth that all things are his, and he is Christ's and Christ is God's. Now that he is in Christ he is blessed with all spiritual blessings in the heavenlies. He should accept from God the circumstances over which he has no control and rejoice in his spiritual blessings

The Christian attitude is to accept from God things which we cannot change. They are God's destiny for us, and we should make the most of them for His glory and for the blessings of others. As we forget our disabilities and lose ourselves in service for others, we will come to realize that spiritual people love us for what we are, not for our appearance, for instance.
