Contentment - The state of being

The heart is ever wandering and we often feel that we are constantly one step to fulfilment. That's the sign of discontentment. "If you have a relationship with God now and you do not feel fulfilled, you will never be happy/fulfilled". Words that cut to the heart. I believe that all who have a relationship with God will find themselves at some times, feeling discontented cos that's how the human heart is wired.

Empty and required to be constantly filled. To have fulfilment, we need to first know what it is. Is it a feeling that comes and go and quickly as it came? Or is it resting in the belief that all our needs are met, we dun need more than this. The empty stomach that was fed, the lonely heart that is loved, a troubling mind that finds clarity. Something that brings a sigh to the human soul. The sigh of contentment, that this is how Life is to be lived. However, more often than not, what comes out is a sigh of displeasure/ discontentment.

Contentment = happiness. I have heard this time and again from people who have seen their lot in life. Sounds like a stage to be reached but I say it's a way of life, a state of being.

I am still searching.
