I was sitting at home, pondering what the verse of the week could be, and I thought, what is something I am struggling with right now? And I realized that right now I am struggling with just being content with where I am in my friendships, and circumstances. More or less I am struggling with living in the present, not the future. So I typed, "content" into the bible gateway search, and although it came up with a bunch of great ones (it is the bible after all), Hebrews 13:5 stuck out the most. It says, "Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, 'Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you.' " I'm not so much struggling with the love of money, but with remembering that God will never leave me, and never forsake me. I must be content with what I have, and where I am. I need to learn to live in the present, not in the past, and not in the future. Maybe you struggle with that too. Remember that God is always on your side. Remember to live in the here and now and not long for the past or the future. Be content.
"Fear not for the future, weep not for the past."
