Inspiration: Words, Part 3

Today I have another words-related inspiration post for you all. And I like to share another quote from Augustine, like I did last time. I hadn't planned to share two quotes from the same person, but this one came to mind and I really like it. So I wanted to share it. This quote doesn't so much inspire me per se, but it encourages me and reminds me of truth. It's quite short.

Contentment can be really hard some times, because there are things that I want that I don't currently have. There are ways I want life to be that it's not right now. But this quote reminds me that I can be content with what I have now, because I have all. As I understand it "Haver of all" in this quote means God. And it says that the one who has God has all. Because of the cross, I am God's and He is mine. So I really have all I need.

Lots of times, my view of God is too small. I can act like He isn't enough. But He truly is. He has given me forgiveness, redemption, freedom from sin, and new life in Him. He's provided everything I need and He is indeed the source of true satisfaction. Quotes like this help me remember these things and start to realize that I do, in fact, have all I need in God.
