[Queen Esther]

                           Do You Appreciate What You Have Received?

Happy are those conscious of their spiritual need.—Matt. 5:3.

When one has had many material things from childhood, there is a tendency not to appreciate them fully. For example, a person who grows up in a wealthy household may take for granted many of the things he has. This can be the case with youths who because of a lack of experience may not yet fully discern what things in life are truly valuable. For many in the world, life revolves around material things—a good salary, a nice home, or the latest high-tech devices. However, if these are our only concerns, something important is missing—spiritual riches. Sadly, millions today have not even begun to look for these. You young ones who have been raised by Christian parents must be careful not to lose sight of the value of what you have received in the form of a spiritual inheritance. A lack of appreciation could result in sad consequences that might affect you for the rest of your life. w14 12/15 4:1, 2
