YOUR OWN PLACE

YOUR OWN PLACE Around the Year with Emmet Fox July 4 If you say that you are unhappy, dissatisfied, perhaps ill or impoverished, a failure, this is simply another way of putting the fact that you are not allowing the will of God to have free play in your life— you are not doing the thing that He meant you to do. Discontent is not necessarily a bad thing. It is your duty to be discontented with anything less than complete harmony and happiness. A wholesome discontent with dullness, failure, and frustration is your incentive for overcoming such things. Whoever you are, your true place is calling, and, because you really are a spark of the Divine, you will never be content until you answer. Remember that this call is the call of God, and when God calls you to His Service, He pays all the expenses. Whatever you may require to answer that call— all will He furnish, if you be about His business and not your own. “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain” John 15:16
