THOUGHT: Contentment is not pretending that things are fine when they are not. Rather, it’s an inner peace that comes from God. It’s an awareness that God is bigger than any problem, and assurance that He’s faithful to open the next phase of our lives at the due time while we appreciate and give our best at the current position; and as a friend puts it – “contentment is wanting what you already have”.

“Not that I speak from [any personal] need, for I have learned to be content [and self-sufficient through Christ, satisfied to the point where I am not disturbed or uneasy] regardless of my circumstances. I know how to get along and live humbly [in difficult times], and I also know how to enjoy abundance and live in prosperity. In any and every circumstance I have learned the secret [of facing life], whether well-fed or going hungry, whether having an abundance or being in need.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬-‭12‬ ‭AMP‬‬
