there is a lot to be said for having a discontentment with the world at large absurd the state of living conditions for a majority of the population. he and I REALY got to have beautiful in depth analysis of why people dgaf so much and no joke bc it was sorta incredible and I'm glad that I got to do that and also learn abs discover about liberation theology in the process.
what does this verse mean-- frustration can be an empowering mechanisms to propel a person forward into action. it doesn't allow for complacency in the same way that happiness tends to and it moves our hearts into motion. it doesn't permit a person to stand still and merely observe as the world goes to crap. so in that sense, sadness and a touch of frustration effectively contribute to society and our lives and the glorification of God almighty.
on that note--I must not be content to just go about my life without thinking of others and I have a religious and culturally moral mandate to care in my life today I will be considering the implications of a whole life abroad in a third world country. without the luxuries that I've become accustomed to in my everyday activities. it's not enough to give only three or five years of my life to service. it just isn't good enough. but I haven't thought about an entire eternity living like that. it boggles my mind and THAT is crazy for me because I'm a relatively decisive person with comparatively little trouble figuring out what God wants for me to do. it'll it's not absolutely clear from the doors that he's opened then I don't know what hearing the voice of God is truly like. it's undeniable that he has blessed me beyond measure and that's something that I cannoli be in awe of. I'm special--a child of god. so I owe it to him for the breath in my lungs this morning and I will seriously examine my purpose and direction today, how to serve him in my field.
to god, it's also crucial that I continue to experience frustration when forgetting or simply failing to write my devotionals. it's terrible): and hard so I need your strength. this is where I must trust you o carry me through intense "busy-ness" and pray nonetheless. thank you for EVERYTHING Lord. much love.
