Satisfaction & Sanctification

Chink. Chink. Chink.
Molding. Shaping. Chiseling.
Sanctification isn't always a walk in the park.
Sometimes it hurts.
Some days I look to the sky as ask God why it has to hurt so much - but I know it's good.
In the end, it will make me more like Jesus - which is what I want above all else.
Make me more like You, Father.
I desire that above all else - to exemplify Christ.

"But whatever gain I had I counted it as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord." {Philippians 3:7-8}

The past week or so God has really been teaching me about worth and satisfaction.
True satisfaction can only be found in the arms of Christ.
Not in appearance. Not in friends. Not in relationships.
True satisfaction comes from a Soul that's so lost in the love of Christ, that you'd have to dig to the depths of the oceans to find it.
True satisfaction comes from a Soul that's found peace in the truest form in the Cross.
True satisfaction comes from pursuing Christ above all else.

God truly does use His Word to speak to me, and I so often forget that.
Memorizing is hard, and it's especially to find time to do it in the busyness of life - but the Lord has been speaking to me through scriptures I memorized long ago in the good old days of red vests, jewels, and sparkies.

Psalm 23:
    The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
        He makes me lie down in green pastures.
    He leads me beside still waters.
        He restores my soul.
    He leads me in paths of righteousness
        for his name's sake.
    Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
        I will fear no evil,
    for you are with me;
        your rod and your staff,
        they comfort me.
    You prepare a table before me
        in the presence of my enemies;
    you anoint my head with oil;
        my cup overflows.
    Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
        all the days of my life,
    and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD
        forever.
