Being content is an art to life. We must be able to conquer our anxieties and be intentional about not giving into our fears that our hopes will fail!!
Lately I have been mroe aware of myself that I am more content in my life than I have ever been.
I am single in a world where most of my friends are in a serious relationship or getting married. This season alone I am going to 6 weddings!
Most girls would be very annoyed, bitter, sad, etc having to put 1 on the R.S.V.P but I just have to thank God that I was able to be happy for others and not throw a pity party!
Being 24 with a degree and being on her own the logical next thing to do is to find a man, settle down and make babies........... right.....
I am so glad I don't serve a God who is all about logic but rather about divinity and timing :) I have learned that the secret in being content is putting our TRUST in our Lord.
Being content doesn't mean I don't have a desire but it means.... God I know that you know what is best for me when it comes to finding a mate, finding a better job, finding the right place to live, having the answer, knowing my future... It means giving all my fears to God and having confidence that He will keep hold to what He has promised me.
Honestly, when I take my own advice everything works out not just how I planned but even better and it was so worth putting it in His hands :)
TRUE contentment is not complaining behind closed doors, not DOUBTING that God doesn't know what He is doing and also not focusing on the issue.
Hope is a part of contentment because hope is the confidence that we put in God and we all know hope deferred makes a heart sick..... that is why we have to continually put our hearts in the word and not just our nose
Having a content life is ideal because we lack nothing since our dependance is on our Lord and Savior who rose in 3 days and allowed us to carry that power within us :)
Peeps, be anxious for nothing because it adds stress to our lives which will shorten our life-- don't worry about things that can't be changed without the supernatural
Lord Jesus
Thank you so much for your love and your life that you so quickly gave up for me and my friends! Thank you for giving us grace when we do worry and focus on the material things or the "next step" that the world says we should do. Let us submit our hearts to you so we can put our hope and confidence in YOU. Let us look forward in you and let us know that provision is already set in stone. I just thank you for giving us our hearts desire in your timing. Help us be more content in life and if there are any sick hearts I pray that you encourage them to give them some hope again! I know we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us so I am speaking that we all can live a REAL content life not a fake one! It is all about our heart and let our hearts know your living word!!
In Jesus name,
Amen!
Love you folks xoxoxo
