Sometimes it’s hard to keep believing. When it takes a long time for our prayers to be answered - or when things get worse - or when it looks like nothing is happening, I tend to start talking myself out of God’s promises.
Discontented people strive to be somewhere else or someone else. Satisfaction in life arises from knowing you are where you belong, even if it's in the middle of a storm....Believing God has a plan....He doesn't make mistakes....He restores....He brings full circle.
We are supposed to deny ourselves and take up our cross daily. It would seem odd that one could carry the weight of a cross and not feel pain. Suffering makes us move through our days in measured steps. And sometimes, we even expect God to deliver a miracle, like we are ordering fast food.
Contentment comes from many great and small acceptances in life. Contentment comes from counting your blessings!
When life isn't the way you like it, like it the way it is.....one day at a time with Jesus. And you will be blessed. God has brought me through that dark tunnel to share His light at the end.
Just a reminder: People who do great things for God are not fearless, they are faithful.
Blessings,
Dalinda
