Contentment...

Something that I have been thinking a lot about lately is contentment. What brings contentment?
It obviously has nothing to do with what you own. Look at all the humble families in foreign countries that are full of contentment and happiness with nothing but each other and the basics to live. And then you can look at how miserable wealthy people that have 8 cars and a huge home can be.

I think contentment is about having a grateful attitude. There is so much for every Christian to be grateful for at any point in there life. The Bible says, "In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God". There is much more joy in being content with what God has provided you. And everyone around you will appreciate your attitude too! Like the quote goes, "Nobody really cares if you are grouchy, so you might as well be happy!".

I personally believe that if we cannot be content wherever we are in life right at this moment, we cannot find contentment at anytime. If you are not content before you buy the sports car you still won't be content after, if you are not content with life before you get married you will not find contentment after.

So, right now, take a moment to thank God for all the blessings that He has given you and be content wherever you are in life right now. I am so grateful for all the blessings God has given me. Such as my godly parents, family, cousins, friends, good health, and for so many other blessings...

1 Timothy 6:6 "Now godliness with contentment is great gain."
