After two years..

Jesus is the only thing perfect.

I have already been working for two years.
I have been involved in two different institutions, under different leaderships, and under different natures of work.

I found that nothing of them satisfied me in every area.
I was always looking for something.

Sometimes, I focus on these things that are lacking and find myself being sad over what I have been doing. At times, I am thinking that I might not be in the place where I could be maximized because *insert reason here*, and I should already find another place to get *insert things that are lacking*. Sometimes, I point out areas where upgrades and reinforcements are needed. There were also times where I got frustrated with stuff because they don’t go the way I wanted them to be.

But, that’s how things work. Everything is imperfect and is working towards improvement (in small steps, at least). No human institution or anything made by human can satisfy even if one is already doing whatever one loves doing and working in an area conducive for one’s passion. There will always be something wrong. There will always be something that you would not like about it.

It might sound discouraging, but that’s the harsh truth about it.
One will always be looking for something even if one’s state had already been better than previous.

Amid this depressing truth, I found refuge in Jesus and in this verse in Philippians 4:12.

I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need.

Things might not go well.
Everything might seem to lack something.
The secret of facing any circumstance is Jesus.
As Paul continued in his next line in Philippians 4:13

I can do all things through him who strengthens me
