grace greater than all my sin.

most people seem to be happy. i'm a happy person. i love my life. no, not every aspect because of course i have regrets and things that i desire to change, but all-in-all, i'm a pretty happy girl. yet here's the thing. so often i find myself looking for more. something else. something new. complete contentment. happiness. God has blessed me in so many ways. He is incredible. He has given me everything i need at the moments when i need them. He has given me amazing, amazing new friends at uncw that have encouraged me in my faith and other areas of my life. He has given me an amazing family that I would not trade for the world. He has given me grace, when i feel like i am sinking in regrets. He has given me joy. yet why do i find myself always wanting something else. maybe its just the human thing to do. maybe everyone is constantly wanting more. I have EVERYTHING i need because i have Christ. friends may fail me and my family may desert me, but if the only One i had was Jesus, it would be more than enough. He can satisfy my desires; He is the one place where true joy and rest is found. i guess i'm only human. but i want to find no excuse in that. i am human, but i am a Christ-follower. set apart. forgiven. a new creation. i, kate dillon, am a new creation. my old life is gone. the new has come. in that, i can find true contentment.
