I read something in my personal archives today that holds me to the ground…

“He that deserves nothing should be content with anything.” Charles Spurgeon

It is a reminder for me as I have gone now a full week without work, that God is good and in control. I prayed with content this morning, but to be honest I am scared a little bit. My life is teetering on that the hope of my calling is sure. The only satisfaction I have ever known is when I am doing the work that God intended for me. I have had job after job…good jobs too…but it never compares to the passion he has given me for working His fields.

What is your passion? Are you pursuing it?

It’s “do or die” for me. I am striving for one thing and that is to accomplish the impossible…at least for me it’s impossible. I don’t see how God is going to move me from the corporate world into a place where I can devote all of my heart to His work. I don’t have a clue what’s next for me. What I do know is that I wouldn’t have it any other way. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a bit scary…but I think it would be a greater tragedy not to try. I get one life to live on this planet…and I want to “live”.

There are consequences to chasing dreams…I might fail…but, like Spurgeon says, “He that deserves nothing should be content with anything.”
