Journey of Life

When I was young, I had so many aspirations in life, most of which I had accomplished. Many of us may have the same experiences. Life is a cycle; sometimes you are up and sometimes you are down. I found this scripture verse from Philippians 4:11-12: “Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need.” I find the word “content” to be very powerful.

In this materialistic world we live in, we are all driven by greed, exactly the opposite of content. I need more! But as I grew older and had more time to reflect, I realized that all my possessions are gifts from God and He can take it away anytime.

God’s unconditional love for me, unworthy as I am, puts me back on the right path when I go astray. Life goes into two different directions: Shall I continue to follow the worldly path? Or shall I choose the path towards the will of God?

As I continue this journey I find comfort from this verse: Hebrews 13:5  “Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

The journey continues…….
