THE SAFETY OF CONTENTMENT

Life would not always give you what you desperately need, nevertheless we must always fight to get what we truly deserve. The beauty of life is in the warring. What boring lives we would have without the battles that hits at us through our lives. Regardless of our quest to want, we must be self-assured that contentment contains inherent ingredients for winning the tenacious desire for more.

Contentment is the strange peace in what has already been acquired without the assertion to pack up more and more with self-imposed anxiety. Life would be easier if people took and enjoyed what they already have. I believe the wanting more is not a bad thing, it's the approach we undertake in getting the things that we want that matters most. Anything done with anxiety is just a waste of your God given time on earth. In getting the things we really want, we must be certain that we are satisfied with what we ready have. To have more through anxiety is to risk the greatness of your time here on earth. Life should be enjpyed and shouldn't be suspended in the graveness of your time on earth.

Life should be enjoyed and shouldn't be suspended in Olivery moments. The familiar text, Oliver twist is about the young boy who always wanted more food when he exhausted the one he already got: he always got what he deserved from the people who were in charge of the children at the orphanage. This happens to be how so many people are, never okay with the things that they have been given. Our pursuits for more usually gets us our hearts desire but with degrading movements in the state of happiness.

Depression deepens when regardless of what we have, we are either staring at what we don't have or at what another person possesses. Life is permanently changing and with the frequency and fervency of change, no matter what we have, life would stupidfy it and our hearts would long for new items. The only liberation we need from this great evil is liberty in our hearts to be satisfied with what is accessible at given moments. I would never support mediocrity; reach for your hearts goals, reach for the depths of your heart but remember to be driven by positive and healthy motives.

The Bible says something very profound about our drive to succeed "people are driven by their envies and jealousies to succeed" . That shouldn't be our hearts reason to succeed because it is unreasonable as each and every one of us possess different makeup and destinies. God wouldn't have made two people alike no matter how closely related or similar they appear to be. God enjoys our individuality and his relentless quest is that we remain that
way and build on all that is inherent in us.

To relentlessly feel unsatisfied about ourselves is pessimistically damaging. Rather than that, accept who you are and reach out to improve on the areas that needs diligent work. This is not without strain and perseverance but one must go on to create real channels of satisfaction in their lives, marriages and ministries. As we develop into divergent areas as the lord calls us to reach, do yourself good by dropping all those poisoning tendencies like dissatisfaction, and comparisons. In the long run, they would be harmful and our growths would be crippled.

Our journey through life would be intensified by our troubles. Troubles would arise, our pains would seek to strangulate us but regardless of these, find more of God in the struggles you face. Time would pressurize us into seeking bits of things that do not yield, but radically push throughout to revive your hearts and minds with more of God. The deep search for God is the aggressive search for a rhythmic party life afterwards. Not a small task but keep moving and never stop until your heart beats with tangible volts of God's presence. In this package, our lives contentment lies.

Keep your heart burning with the fire of contentment!!
