Being Satisfied is hard, espically when you are in a place of want. Over the summer last year... I met with a lot of different people that were in that place and this poem just stuck out to me and it meant a lot. "Be Satisfied" Everyone longs to give themselves to someone, To have a deep soul relationship with another, to be loved thoroughly, and exclusively, But God, to a Christian says, "No, not until you are satisfied, fulfilled, and content, with being loved by Me alone, with having an intensely personal and unique relationship wiht Me alone, discovering that only in Me is you satisfaction to be found. Only then will you be capable of the perfect human relationship That I have planned for you. You will never be united until You are united with Me. I want you to stop planning, stop wishing, And allow me to give you the Most thrilling plan existing, One that you cannot imagine. I want you to have the best. Please allow me to bring it to you. You just keep watching me, expecting the greatest things. Keep experiencing the satisfaction I am. Keep listening and learning the Things that I tell you. You just wait. That's all. Don't be anxious. Don't worry. Don't look around at all the things that others Have gotten or I have given them. Don't look at the things you want. You just keep looking up and away to Me, Or you'll miss what I want to show you. And then, when you are ready, I'll surprise you with a love far More wonderful than any You would dream of. Until then know that I love YOU. Wow, that is so powerful. Sometimes I would think, well I do have a relationship with you and I am satisfied with you Lord, but... blah blah blah,.. _____ fill in the blank____ There are things that we long for, things that we want, and the Lord is just telling us.. to wait. Then when one thing comes along... and we jump all over it.. thinking great this is it... and BAM! nope or how about with we long for something and it is presented to us.. and then we take it slow and pray to our Father... to make sure this is it.. and turns out it Isn't...MAN! that hurts.. but God is just telling you that wasn't the ONE!!! "YOU just keep looking up and away to ME, OR you'll miss what I want to show you." Keep your eyes towards Him, even in the midst or something difficult, and He will Show you! Praying for all of you! |
