Discontent is a part of the universe, but how sad to let it become a way of life.

Perhaps, if leaves could think, there would be some that would be continually unhappy because the would wish they were pine needles, or wish they could be let loose, and now free from their branch flutter though the air like a bird.

Discontented with how things were and growing more so with the passage of every leaf long day.

And then find fear and fault with their ultimate destination; the ground.

Finding fault with what is, to chase some pie-in-the-sky that isn’t, has happened to lots of people too, but how sad to live in such a state of discontent.

To paraphrase an old saying – man does not live by pie alone.

One thing is for sure… it is important to realize the difference between being stuffed or being satisfied. Ah yes, many who have been chasing and successfully finding more and more still are as dissatisfied as if they were having less and less.

How it really is possible to have too much of a good thing. Take praise. It is certainly good, unless you receive so much of it you can’t live without it, and become blind to criticism.

There is such a bitterness to not being satisfied.

Indeed the Greek word for bitterness also means poison.

I learned and try never to forget the truth that if you feed your discontents they will become a poison to you. If you constantly don’t like what life is doing to you , or what people are doing, or even what God is doing, you will continue to be miserable.

It is God’s world and He loves you. Your life is a gift and God will allow you to fill it with majesty even if sometimes you find it hard to see the whole eternal picture.

So pray positive prayers even in the midst of negative moments. Think positive thoughts even when sunshine is still below the horizon. And then when things have gotten better dance and sing with such gratitude… the angels in heaven grin and break out in song.
