So many of us have a case of the " I'll be happy when"
I'll be happy when I'm married, I'll be happy when I get a new house or when I get the perfect job. The truth is that you can acquire all of those things and still feel empty in search of the "next thing". If I'm being honest I've wasted a lot of time waiting for the perfect circumstance and what I've learned is that there is no perfect circumstance especially when I'm blinded by discontentment .
If I am empty and in search of something or someone to fill my voids I'll most likely remain the same empty person when I have those things. The only thing that people or things fill up in your time; Only God can fill you, pour into you all the you need and all that you didn't know you needed. Remember, you cannot fill a God sized void with anything other the God himself.
Discontentment is tactic of the devil to discourage you from living in the grace you have right now. If we are always looking ahead we will surely miss out on the now and what God is doing right now in this very moment. Living in discontentment is essentially minimizing God and his work in us.
I don't know about you but I want to present I don't miss a moment of what the Lord is doing right now within me. If anything I want more of God , I want Him to fill me with His wisdom and love so that when I find love, become established in my career or own my dream home I will already be whole and my happiness will be based on Christ who lives in me not and not the things I've acquired.
Let's talk about it: @ Reply me on Twitter to discuss @lesliallynblogs
- Do you have case of the "I'll be happy whens" what is your happiness contingent on?
- How will you seek God to be present in the now?
Love,
