I think, why can't my job be more satisfying, why can't my master bathroom be nicer, why can't my relationships work better, why can't I be more responsible, why can't I get my act together in multiple areas. If I'm honest, I can get to a place of being very dissatisfied really quick.
Somewhere in my mind I have developed a false belief that I, with God's help, can create a problem free, suffering free, perfectly satisfied life. And when problems come up, I have a tendency to beat myself up for doing life wrong.
This morning I have a little different perspective...isn't the morning great?
I'm considering that when my dissatisfaction overshadows my joy in these areas (money, job, relationships, etc...) God is not trying to frustrate me, but rather gently remind me that there is only one thing that will satisfy...Jesus.
And, this is the "good" part. My satisfaction will never be complete, even when I'm "doing things right", until I'm in Heaven with Jesus.
My dissatisfaction serves the purpose of keeping me from making anything into something that will stand in the way of my dependence on God.
I don't know about you, but if it were designed any other way, I would become way too consumed with the things of this world.
Make sense? I'm still processing myself...
