Contentment, Surrender and Hope

Contentment

I bought nothing into this world, and I can take nothing out of it.

Why then, do I always want to have everything? I think I need them? Or I want them? Or I like them? Or I think I deserve them? Or perhaps I should see it as, God gives them for me to use.

Why is this lesson easier to learn when we are poorer and harder to learn again when we are richer?

Again, another lesson to learn.

Surrender

And why do people always struggle with surrender over and over again? Because we always think this is my life. I should live it the way I like it.

But perhaps we should just see every breath as a gift from God.

Why is this lesson easier to learn when we are younger, and harder when we are older? Because we think we are an adult already?

Again, relearn lesson.

Hope

And what do we hope for in the future? Many times the people we put hope in always disappoint us. Because ultimately we still haven’t learn to put our hope in God.

Many hard lessons to learn.
