Contentment

I wanna talk about contentment. I am never content. I always want to do something else, be something else, and go somewhere else. Our shallow humanity can never be satisfied. Why do I always seek to be something else and ignore the opportunity to just be?

 

Is it not enough that I am made in the image of God and I am a new creation? What if the only place that discontentment could raise its head was in our quest to be more like Christ? What would we be like then?

 

Maybe there is part of God�s image in us to create something valuable, to express our creativity. I�m not saying that is a bad thing at all. I am talking about whole Christians that are discontent with who they are. I can see being discontent if you feel broken, or youre a drug addict or something like that, but why cant some of us be happy just being?

 

Are you happy with who you are, where youre at � in your job, in life in general? Or do you get a wild hair like me? Always want to be something �better�?

 

Maybe God wants us where we are. I guess it all depends on how he�s working on us. Maybe he wants us to do �better� things. Maybe if we concentrate on doing God�s will, our discontentment will go away�I�ll pray about it. Theres nothing wrong with where I am at, and I don�t feel like God wants me to do anything different right now, other than trying to be more like Christ�.so I need to get over it.
