The Unhappy Land you may be living in……
Do you have a mailing address in the land of Er? This is where we live when we feel that we NEED in order to be happy, to be thinner, richer, smarter, hipper, an influencer, stronger, healthier.. you get the idea….
You never arrive in the land of Er. Ever.
You just wind up at another dry, thirsty place.
Somewhere that is just as unfulfilling as where you just were.
The concept of letting out a cleansing sigh with a smile on your face and the thought that "all is well with my soul" is as foreign to you as smelling the number 5.
Jesus came to give us peace. His peace. And that my friend looks unlike anything this world has to offer. Believe me, as I’ve tried a majority of them.The problem arises from the fact that you cannot hold His peace and your discontentment in your hands (heart) at the same time!
When the Apostle Paul said “for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in need". Paul never lived in Er. He lived in peace....
Unfortunately a lot of us don't get to experience that powerful point of happiness or being able to do/handle anything because we are not first being content.
It's very difficult to bless a complaining child when you are focused on their best interests.
Do yourself a favor. Count your Blessings. Carefully. Very carefully and move away from the Land of Er.
