More on Contentment by Lydia Brownback

Here's an excerpt from a devotional by Lydia Brownback titled "There's No Place Like Home."

. . . God was teaching me something important, not only about home but about his people, about you and me. Home is not who we are. And all we have at home is not where our comfort and security really lie. If we seek contentment from home, we will never find it because all that makes a home home is constantly shifting.

Contentment comes when we discover that home is much more about where we are going than where we have come from. Home is about the people of God more than about our families on earth. But that doesn't mean we must do without the blessings of home in the here and now. . .

We can have the contentment of home right now, wherever we are, because home for us is wherever God has us. In fact, home is more than this - home is Christ, who unites us to God our Father. In this home alone can we find contentment because it is the only home that we will never have to leave.

This book continues to be a huge blessing and encouragement to me as I fight discontentment and discouragement in many areas of my life! If you want to buy a copy for yourself, you can look here.
