I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.
Philippians 4:11
You, like St Paul, might be content with your circumstances, or you might be striving to do better in life, simply because you don't think you've achieved enough. The great danger in life is to be constantly looking back and believing that you have been a failure - as a significant other, as a breadwinner, or as a parent. Remember this: God the Father never forgets the sinner - He only forgets the sin when we repent from the heart. As psalm 103 says, “As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us,” and as Superman used to say when he had donned his costume, “Up, up and away.” You have put on Christ, and so you too are able to cry, “Up, up and away!” and no looking back!
They that wait upon the Lord
Shall renew their strength
They shall mount up with wings as eagles;
They shall run, and not be weary;
They shall walk, and not faint.
Teach me LORD, teach me LORD to wait.
