Contentment is a form of true wealth, godliness with contentment is a great gain for all of us!

 

Of course, godliness with contentment is great gain. 

- 1 Timothy 6:6 

Contentment is a form of true wealth, godliness with contentment is a great gain for all of us! We need to learn to be content. We can do this with Jesus, God gave Jesus to us, Emmanuel, God with us, as our model, our example of how to live. We are called to follow, reflect, forgive, imitate, and love like Him! 

The Mornings With God App said,  "Contentment doesn’t mean settling for less or enjoying hardship. With our great human capacities, we’ll never be fully satisfied. But contentment means accepting our circumstances without complaining, making the best of them. Paul wrote about his own journey toward this grace: “I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.” He had learned to find peace and joy that didn’t depend on external conditions. Even in the most difficult situations, he didn’t fret. It’s worth noting that Paul said he had “learned” contentment, implying it didn’t come naturally but required growth. He also told Timothy that godliness with contentment is great gain. Discontent is like poverty, even if one has much, while contentment is a form of true wealth."

People and things on this Earth School do not bring us happiness. Only God can do this through Jesus Christ. We are called to follow Him! If we want to be happy. We need to follow Jesus! He is the only way to peace and contentment, when we try hard to be godly and upright following Him! We see a lot of people today who are poor spiritually. They lack God, do not know Jesus, and are unhappy, full of hate, anger, violence, negative, and living in misery. Do you want to be content while here on Earth? Will you give your life to Jesus and follow Him? Will you do as He says, and love your neighbor, enemy, and everyone that God has put in your path? We are called to be like Jesus! This brings contentment!
