Title: Contentment
Post by: Matt on October 15, 2008, 07:36:42 PM
Has anyone ever felt so content and peaceful since knowing the truth?

I used to be so stressed out and impatient when it came to understanding the Word.
Right now, I am going through a period of such satisfaction in my walk.
I have my fair share of bad times >:( :( :-[ :'(, (too many to list) and good times :D, but I still feel so at ease.  Knowing that God IS love, He IS merciful, He IS righteous!

It is very strange.  I have so much still to learn, but the huge holes in my knowledge no longer bother me.
My inner understanding of God's will insulates me, even though I often find it hard to vocalize.
As much as I desire to share, Sometimes, I find it very hard to go any deeper at this time. 
I can't recall the truths that I want when I feel I need it most (explaining scriptures to others), but I know that the truth is inside of me.  This gives me a strange sort of comfort!
 
I feel so, so..... loved and sheltered by our Father ;D
I pray for everyone here to experience the same peace and satisfaction that I have been given.

Just wanted to share,
Matt ;)

I relate.  It's a deep satisfaction that I've been searching for all my life.  I would trade NOTHING for that peace.  There is now no confusion about who is being saved, because like many of you virtually everyone in my family has not been "enlightened" and i no longer have to convince, beg or barter for their salvation....just love their little heathen souls.  :)

Seriously though...  WHAT FREEDOM!!!

Hello, Well, its the peace that makes us know it is real truth. Cause like most on here once finding the truth fear just left. Love came in fears place.

In His Love

Yes,

Peaceful & Contentment in my understanding of God.  And our relationship to him.  Many things I use to agonize over, I have no need to worry.

Day to Day schisms with family, health issues & financial security are still challenges for me, but easier to cope with!
Through each trial, my trust and faith grow stronger for the next time!

Funny thing is George, when I was still in Babylon I never could relate to the above verse, I never seemed to get that peace........and now.......well, it does surpass all understanding.

What freedom, what a release........there is absolutely nothing that is going to happen to me that God has not already predestined.  What an AWESOME God we serve........HALLELUJAH AND AMEN!!!
