Living In The Place Of Contentment

1 Timothy 6:6-7 NIV

But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.

I am amazed by the testimonies that I read about or see in videos, about the tragedies, pains, and sorrows of ordinary people, and how they brought their worries and issues to the Lord, and by their faith and His will, they came out of those situations with victory in their hearts, in their souls, and their situations. The children of God are favored with His power and His love, which may seem like an unfair advantage that He has given us, but when you think of all the suffering, cheating, abuses, and back office deals going on here on planet earth on a daily basis, God's favor is the balancing point against all of these things, and in fact supercedes everything that the devil and his demons can do against you and me!

I am still learning about myself, still blinded by some weaknesses, very aware of the ones that I am not blinded to, and I walk in humility as I see my God work His will for my life into those weaknesses and issues and that He is still able to reap a fruitful harvest.

We need to ask the Lord to strengthen our resolve to live peacefully in this world, and that our lives become examples of true godliness; you know that you have spiritually matured when you suffer for doing right and being right, and there is nothing but peace and happiness in your heart!

Take all of your cares to Him, but also ask Him to make you a better christian, a better human being, and a good friend to the lost, the brokehearted, and the forsaken.

We all need to be bold with our love, to push past fear and low self esteem and seek our confidence and the power to do good things in the world from Him; He is an endless source of grace, love, and power, and when you finally realize just how much God loves you and how valuable you are to Him, you will never feel worthless again!

Ask the Lord to show you the breadth, the depth, and the length of His love for you, and be prepared to be amazed!


(Jesus says) I Love You I Have Wanted You Since Before The Foundation Of The World - I Suffered For You, So You Are Precious To Me - I Have Prepared A Place For You In My Father's House So That We Will Be Together For Always - That Is What Led Me To The Cross And That Is What Kept Me On It - That Is Why I Died For You - Trust Me In This - Ask Me To Show You How Much I Love You And You Will Be Truly Satisified With Me!





Philippians 4:12-13 NIV

I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
