A friend of mine once told me that I was religious. I had to correct him. I don’t like the thought of being religious. Anyone can be religious, but it takes work to have a relationship with Christ. You have to work at a relationship: you have to spend time with, cultivate and learn the person with whom you are trying to have the relationship with.
I spend a good portion of my life being religious. Doing the things I’m supposed to do, just because I’m supposed to do it. I went to church, I played the “good girl” didn’t do anything I was not supposed to do. But to know Him in a personal way, that is when I stopped searching. To know Him personally is to be content. I no longer have to search for something to fill the void. He is everything to me. I don’t have to look in drugs, alcohol and other material possessions, because God is everything I need. When I’m at that place, I can be content with my church, my work, my ministry. I am learning a lot about myself through our relationship and I’m learning alot about the character of God.
I love contentment. You should try this relationship thing!
