Contentment

[image error]

Have you ever longed for something or someone for a very long time? Perhaps the object of your desire was a new job where you could shine or friends with whom your heart-felt safe. Maybe your searching led you to a new home, a new art form, or an adopted daughter.

Whatever the “found,” you noticed contentment nestling deep inside your soul.

2012 was my year of searching and finding: the exploration of mixed media, the purchase of another home,  the transfer to a new job. What I longed for materialized and, eventually, become the fruit of desire fulfilled:

“Hope deferred maketh the heart sick; But when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.”

So if you have an ache for something new, keep searching. Cry out to your Creator; not for what you think you need, but for what He knows you need. I can assure you that you won’t be disappointed.
