Actually, I think I am a very blessed person. This is because God makes me a contented person. I enjoy spending quiet moments in my room reading, sleeping, praying, studying and playing the piano. It is a plus when my nephew and niece come to my room.
Today, I got to do all the favorite activities I just mentioned. When my nephew and niece were in my room, they were doing their own stuff, but I felt at peace with God and everything in my room. Love was in the room too. The kids know how well loved they are, thus they are comfortable in my room. I know I love them very much and they reciprocate by wanting to spend time with me and giving me their warm little hugs.
I thank God that I live in a nation of peace, and that all my family members are together and healthy. God has provided me well in all aspect and I thank Him for that as well. I do not take for granted the blessings in my life. Recently, I am also learning to take unpleasant things from God and becoming more patient with handling unpleasant "presents" as I learn what submission means.
It is great to be at peace with God. But, is this true peace? Is peace that I experience when times are good true peace? Honestly, I am not sure if I have developed enough character to experience peace even during turmoil. But, I believe God's grace is sufficient for me. Thus, I am not worried how my character holds in difficult times. God will shine through when trials come.
