Tricky title, eh? Yet true, while there are many verses that speak on contentment, does not discontentment lead to growth? Dissatisfaction, change? Is there such a thing as discontentment that isn't wrong and is holy, righteous, and good in that of not settling for less than what is possible? Why limit oneself?
I admit to hating myself in the present moment, but for good cause. I don't like where I am, and while hate may be unhealthy, it very well may be the catalyst for change. I see where I am, what is to be, and what I hope to be. The present torment, what to be bringing hope, and what I hope to be the culmination that'll be experienced then. It is looking forward, and yet I cannot live in the future. The future is created first in the past, as like a rock thrown into a pond creates ripples. It was thrown and it now has effects, which the now was then the future.
All of that to say, I must change. I have to change as it ever bears a burden upon my soul. It aches the heart, and it grieves my spirit. However, there is hope. I have God's word, His personal promises, and the disdain for the present moment. As I said, the hate then is a catalyst and yet God, and His words, the fuel.
What can you take from this? Push onward, hold dear to His promises because He is faithful, and don't be so comfortable that you reach a plateau and limit yourself. Keep growing, expanding, and being the person you are meant to be. Don't settle for less. What things that now burden you can be conquered, especially with the Lord.
