to be content

Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned , in whatsoever state I am , therewith to be content.    Philippines 4:11

 

And having food and raiment let us be therewith content . 1 Timothy 6:8

 

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have : for he hath said , I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.     Hebrews 13:5

 

But godliness with contentment is great gain.    1 Timothy 6:6

 

To learn to be content in whatever state we are in is a very great thing indeed.

Sounds like the apostle Paul had mastered the art of contentment! 

That is one of the top things I want for my kids too.

May we  learn to be content so we can experience  true happiness and joy in life -- always-- no matter what comes our way, with whatever we  may have, or don't happen to have! :)

In Him,
Mae
