I was just thinking that too often, I feel as if my ways of thinking do not fit in with this world’s. It’s as though I was born in the wrong era, for my train of thoughts are often deemed too traditional.

Sometimes I question if it’s me who’s not adaptable, if it’s me who are still holding on to values that are deemed out of fashion.

And just as I was finding my way amidst all these doubts, He spoke.

My pastor spoke of a holy discontentment that we ought to have. A holy discontentment that makes us incapable of allowing our spiritual lives to be stagnant. A holy discontentment that makes us realize that the ways of this world are never going to bring us true love and satisfaction. For this world itself is imperfect. How can an imperfect entity (us) relying on another imperfect entity (the world) bring about satisfaction in life? Two wrongs simply do not make one right.

Maybe God has been trying to use all the frustrations with the world that I was facing to tell me that His presence is the reason why I’m frustrated with the world.

I guess this is another reminder that I should let go and just rely on the Perfect One, and follow His ways.
