A few days I was reading through my prayers when I realized that according to my schedule I was supposed to pray that my future husband would be a man of contentment. Sounds like a great plan, right? Well, it didn't quite fluff my tail. Pray that he would be content today without ME? How long do I have to pray for this? Is it possible for him to be too content?
But what the Lord has been teaching me in the days since then is that when Jesus is your all consuming passion, your joy, your peace... things like "too much" contentment don't really bother you. Why? Because you know that if you are satisfied in the Lord you will not lack any good thing.
Then I was looking at how when we delight in Him He'll give us the desires of our heart. That always seemed to bother me. So if I love God enough.... He'll give me whatever I want? But what I started to realize is that when we are delighting in the Lord our desires are pure... they come from a passionate relationship with Christ. They come from a heart after God's heart. It's not out of selfishness... it's a relationship based on love. And it's never about seeking God's hand... it's about seeking His face.
