Contentment

Contentment is living your life through the fullness of God.


        We live in a world of comparison. We always compare up rather than comparing down. It could be something you don't have, like a brand new sports clothes or it could be brand name clothing. We think that if we have more then we will be content. You need to ask yourself when is enough enough? It is okay for us to praise and admire those who have more but, we can not get to the point that we covet what they have, like their job positions or their belongings. Luke 3:14 (all about being content with your salary). 

What brings contentment?
       God brings contentment! God is infinite and will always be enough. We need to put the fullness of our life into His hands. Give Him all you struggle with, ask Him to fill you up with joy, love, and contentment. When we do this we won't worry. How can you enjoy what you have and be content when you constantly worry about all your material things you own?? We can not worry about what will happen. We have to make the choice to put our choice in God. That choice is our choice alone, no one else can make it for you. Focus on what you have in Him. Contentment comes in Christ. Make the choice.
