and peace in my heart than I have in a long
time. How will I know I am not just becoming
complacent and comfortable? How is it
that there can be both contentment and
reaching for more, since we are told to have
both?
in My dealings with you, yet your heart must also be open to the dreams I would yet place
there. I give you dreams of service and visions of future glory and of all I have created you to
be. You are to be content in My time and My ways of fulfilling these dreams. Discontent and
restlessness would mean that you want your way and time, that you are trying to fulfill My plan.
I said that I would complete what I have begun in you, and I will.
Contentment and thankfulness are great treasures not to be shirked as "less spiritual"
than hunger and thirst. Both ends of the spectrum have their place in the heart of My child.
Do not fear being content--I know full well how to stir your soul to My call. I know your heart,
and I know you are willing to hear and obey My voice, so if all I speak to you now is peace, then
be at peace. The seasons of your life are not over, and there is much yet ahead in the way of
service and adventure and challenge. It pleases My heart to see you satisfied and not chafing
at the bit like an unbroken horse. The submission of your will and heart are a long-awaited
and sweet-smelling sacrifice to Me. I know it has not come easily for you to rest. Isn't it a
strange thing how the deeper the satisfaction, the keener the hunger as well? Be blessed,
My child, and enjoy the life I have given you. All that I desire to accomplish through your life
will be done. I promise.
