Be content to know that Jesus is the Lover of our souls! ~K.F.~
The quote above is one said about a week ago and then again today to me by a dear friend. K.F. truly has inspired me to be a better woman in Christ and this is based upon those two times that I have heard this phrase.
I had been struggling with self image and who God created me to be verses who I thought I was, etc etc etc...and K.F. totally helped me...without even meaning too, I think. The first time I heard this from her, we were talking about BOYS! (What else do girls talk about, lol) I was telling her all about this guy....not so good things either and she asked told me to be content in knowing that Jesus is the lover of our souls. I had never thought about that before...however its absolutely TRUE!
This has forever rang true even til today...So true I wrote a poem about contentment and my view.
Contentment, sometimes, seems out of my grasp;
So many things, for which I long!
It’s so easy to selfishly forget,
That it’s Christ to whom I belong.
I forget His promises to provide
Things that are important for me.
He chooses the path of my lot in life,
And He longs to help me to see,
That whatever He brings into my life
Are the things that He knows are best.
And to know I have Him to lean upon,
Then, He will provide all the rest.
Dear God, help me learn to be so content
With the things You give me in life.
Then, with joy, I can face each brand new day
Without living with inner strife!
Help me to be obedient to you;
And carefully lean on Your Word,
Knowing fully, You have charge of my plans;
And each of my prayers has been heard!
Isn't the Lord great? That He desires above all things? We are WANTED, and LOVED!
