God lives and works today.
He is a Father of love, and therefore
nothing concerns Him more than that His children
be happy, thankful, joyful children in their Father's
house.
If you must sadly confess that your life
isn't happy, listen to today's helpful meditation by
Basilia Schlink called How to Become Satisfied.
Are you dissatisfied?
That can't be God's will, for He loves
His children and creation.
His love has done everything so that we
might become happy and satisfied.
Heavenly Father, I'm Thy child, is there better
to be found than such loving union?
Oh, how blessed to be with Thee, day
and night secure to be by Thy love
surrounded.
Heavenly Father, I'm Thy child, tell me, is
there anything in the world more blessed?
How can trouble, hurt, or harm while I
rest within God's arm?
God esteems me precious.
Do you think sadly, I certainly couldn't sing
that song?
God is showing you a way which is
guaranteed to bring satisfaction so that you can't
help but sing along.
First of all, God asks you, why are
you discontented?
Perhaps you know the saying, the more you
have, the more you want.
It's true.
The more a person wishes to have for
himself, the less content he becomes.
But the more he gives up for God
in the way of time, energy, love, honor,
and rights, the more content and happy he'll
become.
That is the way Jesus is calling us
to go.
In Matthew 10, verse 39, he tells us,
he who loses his life for my sake
will find it.
In other words, when you begin to give
up things instead of making demands upon God
and people, you will experience what loving intentions
God has for your life.
Then your discontentedness will vanish, and you'll be
filled with joy and happiness.
Sacrifice you came to offer, I give myself
and you.
Grant me the grace to surrender, that then
in me may see you.
Bind me to you, my dear Jesus, I
then will give you all.
Gladly my treasure surrender, even those I love
most of all.
Sacrifice now my life shall be, my strength
and time, my all.
My life I give you entirely, yield everything
when you call.
Then so your power I am trusting, your
cross shall safe renew, giving me ever the
longing to bear my cross after you.
