contentment



'Jesus Calling' to us:

"Rejoice in Me always! No matter what is going on, you can rejoice in your love-relationship with Me. This is the secret of being content in all circumstances. So many people dream of the day when they will finally be happy...Fantasizing about future happiness will never bring fulfillment, because fantasy is unreality. My reality is eternal and unchanging. Bring your moments to Me and I will fill them with vibrant joy. Now is the time to rejoice in My presence!"

Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always, again I say rejoice.

Philippians 4:12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned to be content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.

Psalm 102:27 But You (God) remain the same and Your years will never end.

*****

Contentment, what everyone is seeking, but few find. We are looking in all the wrong places--in money, jobs, our looks, houses, clothes, things, and even other people. But those things may bring temporary happiness, but not contentment. True contentment comes only in our everyday loving relationship with God. We will never be content if we are living in the past or future,

Let's commit to staying in this moment enjoying God and all that He has given us.
