| contentment... |
In Philippians 4:11-12, Paul informs us that "godliness with contement is great gain" and he instructs us how he gain contentment from his life. Contentment is such a valued virtue but seriously the pure form of it is getting extinct in the world. Nowadays, advertisements tell us that we need to get that, this, that IN ORDER to be content. And like what one playwright wrote, "God hath made none contented." (quoted from Life Management for Busy Women). it's not easy to see what God truly wants to be content.
Got a short poem from the book:
A Recipe for Contentment
Health enough to make work a pleasure
Wealth enough to support your needs
Strength enough to battle with difficulties and forsake them
Grace enough to confess your sins and overcome them
Patience enough to toil til some good is accomplished
Charity enough to see some good in your neighbour
Love enough to move you to be useful and helpful to others
Faith enough to make read the things of God
Hope enough to remove all anxious fears concerning the future.
Even the words are so meaningul lo! Gonna sleep early ba... so will continue another day... :) |
