After my last week’s experience the
thought occurred to me that we talk about the Apostle Paul’s encouragement to
being content in whatever circumstance we are in as part of maturing as a
person. The process of maturing does
not mean we are always successful it means the actions of our values become
natural part of who we are in the way we live with one another. We experience a quiet center as we seek
contentment. We experience inspiration
in the things we do. We can recognize our successes and through
that admit our humility. I heard once that
humility is not denying power you have but knowing that power is through you,
not from you. Remember the new phrase I
created – humbly proud.
In the midst of trouble when we feel
like screaming, we remember that the Spirit of God is with us and we can take a
deep breath and say “thank you Jesus for being with me.” We
begin to feel grateful that we are not alone and begin to take the next steps
one at a time -- towards maturity. The task is the reward. Be satisfied—content--with God’s creation—you!
