Satisfaction

What makes one satisfied in this life? What ables a person to look at life with clear rose glasses and see all of life's perfection rather than it's flaws? I honestly wish I was more of the person that could pass all the flaws of this life and see perfection. I wish so badly that I could become satisfied in this life. I typically can find optimism in most situations and thrive on being at peace within life situations that arise.

There come certain realms that I am finding it harder and harder to just be satisfied. I am a person who has many blessings in this life to offer up to God and give Him the praise and glory for bringing me through life situations because of His grace and mercy. However, I have hit a crossroad in my path in this life. I find myself striving more and more to figure out what my true destiny is to live out on this earth, and find myself surrendering in battle's left and right to get me there. I find myself constantly questioning life, and it's authentic Ora that life itself possesses. I question God often about life situations that have been thrown at me and to some degree find it hard not to be frustrated at Him at times. Not at all do I want to blame God for the hardships and persecutions that I have faced...but I simply want reason behind these afflictions that He has chosen me to walk through.

I believe that God walked the hardest road of any of us. He paid the price for us when He died on that cross...and that I am forever grateful for. He walked through many hardships and times of persecution....but because of His undeniable love for His people, He chose to endure and pay the price of love for all to accept; if they desired.

I am sure that somewhere along the 33 years of His life here on earth that He had feelings of dissatisfaction. I believe he still does, every time His people sin against Him. However, He still accepts us back into His loving arms, even when we have disappointed Him.

Though He may have felt as if He wasn't satisfied at times, He still endured pain, hardship, and persecution...and above all...He still loved. Amidst unsatisfied times...He loved and He gave love to His people, and still does.

I question God about my own personal satisfaction in this life. What more can I do to show that love? How can I become satisfied through the fire? These questions are often raised in my own heart...and often I hear Him say...just love through the fire. Through unsatisfied times and fiery situations...just love and trust Me every step of the way...and Satisfaction will be found.

Life itself may not present the Ora of perfection, but satisfaction can be found through the flaws in which we choose to embrace; to love.
