Melancholy

“…he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus” (Philippians 1:6, NIV) Sometimes when God is doing a work in our lives, it can begin to feel a little uncomfortable. We may encounter people who are hard to get along with or have circumstances that seem beyond our control. When this happens, instead of complaining, getting sour or trying to change everything around you, why don’t you look deep inside and say, “Lord, thank You for doing a work in me.” See, I’ve learned that God is more interested in changing me than He is in changing my circumstances. If I choose to stay sour because I’m not getting my way or discouraged because things aren’t happening on my time table, that’s going to keep me right where I am.

There’s no such thing as a painless lesson…they just don’t exist. Sacrifices are necessary…you can’t gain anything without losing something first. Although…if you can endure that pain, and walk away from it…you will find that you now have a heart strong enough to overcome any obstacle…..yeah…a heart made fullmetal.
