Ah, To Be Content

There is so much that keeps me busy. But in all the melee of stuff, when it comes down to my core, I'm content in the Lord. I love His presence. I love it when He is the Lord of my life. If none of my dreams ever come true, He is still God, still good, and still has something much better for this life. So as I lay everything aside, and take up the cross I am called to carry, it becomes not some romantic notion of martyrdom, not self-sacrifice. No, all thoughts of heroism fade away. This is for Him. This is because I love Him. And the fact that I know that on more than a head-level is awesome. I'm learning. I fail daily. But He's a faithful teacher.
