If you say that you are unhappy, dissatisfied, perhaps ill or impoverished, a failure, this is simply another way of putting the fact that you are not allowing the will of God to have free play in your life—you are not doing the thing that He meant you to do.
Discontent is not necessarily a bad thing. It is your duty to be discontented with anything less than complete harmony and happiness. A wholesome discontent with dullness, failure, and frustration is your incentive for overcoming such things. Whoever you are, your true place is calling, and, because you really are a spark of the Divine, you will never be content until you answer.
Remember that this call is the call of God, and when God calls you to His Service, He pays all the expenses. Whatever you may require to answer that call—all will He furnish, if you be about His business and not your own.
Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain (John 15:16).
While God may in fact choose or “call” us, we all have a choice to follow God’s will or to deny it and follow our own will. When bad things happen to us it is usually caused by denying God’s will in our lives. The other most likely cause of trouble in our lives is that they are sent by God to guide and shape us into the beings God created us to be.
There is a way to tell the difference. When we follow God’s will, the problems that arise in our lives are meant to shape and mold our lives into one which reflects God’s will. Those problems will bring forth God’s help to strengthen us and to ensure that we use the challenge to become a better person. When we refuse God’s will the problems get worse, we have increasingly negative impacts on our lives and we fail to become better people.
One way gives hope and confidence that we will overcome our problems and that our burdens will become blessings. The other way robs us of hope and confidence as our problems overcome us and destroy our joy and gladness.
“As for me and my family, we will follow the Lord”.
Hearing the call,
