I would like to talk about the new chapter of my life. God has blessed me with every desire of my heart. I experience the awe of waking every day to wondering what I could have done to deserve all the good things in my life. Content, how can we describe this word? It's kind of like being wrapped in a hug. I think its one of those words that there are no words to fully describe. Real contentment can only come from God.
I guess what I am trying to get to is, if you are going thru hard times, and it feels like there is no hope. Dont turn to the world for answers, and dont turn your back on God. You know the devil would like for you to blame God, but if you stay true to him and trust him, he can turn your situation around and life can be better than you ever knew it could be. Once I told myself that I was going to give up. Then I began to think about what I was going to give up. Give up peace, joy, and eternal life, for Misery, and a continual looking for something to fill the void, and eternity without God. I realized pretty quick that I had the best thing going, and even though times got tough, Heaven is cheap at any price, and giving up is not an option.
I think of the children of Isreal, and how they wondered in the wilderness for forty years. It was an eleven day journey they had started out to make, and wondered for forty years. We can wonder in circles for years or we can say, God give me the wisdom to figure out the lesson you want me to learn from this and really give it all to him. No matter how long the situation takes to get better, waiting it out is worth it.
