Content but Working Towards Change Hebrews 13:5
Content (adjective) in a state of peaceful happiness
During my daily activities, I began to think about my life as it is right now. I thought about so many things past and present and realized, you know what, I am truly blessed. I am content. I have food, shelter, clothing, my health and strength my family is living, although my mom is not in the best of health, I’m thankful that I can call her and hear her voice. My children are good, I have a great husband; I have friends that love and care about me and my mind is still working.
Although I am content with what I do have, it doesn’t mean that I have reached my destiny and I want to stay in this place in life. I desire more. I desire change for the better. I desire to expand my spiritual and natural knowledge not just for myself but to be able to help others. Sure one day I want to buy a home and I want my children to be able to go the college of their choice, but although I desire these things, I don’t let that desire consume me to the point where I become ungrateful for what I do have. I am working towards change with perseverance and commitment. I would never tell anyone to be satisfied living with just enough, but in spite of what your situation or circumstances may be, whenever you open your eyes to see another day, you have something to be grateful for. Someone laid down with the intent to start working on their vision tomorrow, but they didn’t make it. Someone decided they were finally going to retire and just enjoy their life, but they ended up in the hospital. Every day that you wake up in your right mind and the activity of your limbs, although it may be limited is a chance to work towards change.
Be content, but continue to work hard to achieve your vision. Be dedicated, be persistent, and don’t lose your passion. If that thing that is purposed in your heart is for the greater good, then get started. Count everyday as though it’s your last.
