be content

If we got all we wanted in life; would we be happy? If all the things we've yearned for were given to us; would we be contented? How often we think that should we gain something; we would be completely satisfied....

But we're only human; we can never be fully satisfied. If you wanted a particular phone now; when it gets out of trend; wouldn't you want something better then?

Sometimes we think we'll be happy with what we want so much. We fail to see that nothing; yes nothing will ever fill this desire within us. We were build with a desire for something more; much more than what this world could offer us. Even true love; yes I'm sure deep inside everyone longs for a story of their own. We may come to a point where we think that when we find that certain someone; or if we get together with someone we've loved for a long time we'd be happy and contented. Is that REALLY the case?

I don't think so. If we can't be satisfied with what we have; how can we ever be satisfied with what we want?

We live in a world where everyone tries to feed their self-gratification. No wonder everything keeps falling apart. No wonder there isn't any joy. No wonder there isn't real peace.. They need to know that there's so much more to life than just going after what you want. We weren't made for such low; empty lives.

I think the secret to lead a happy and fulfilling life is to be content. In Philippians 4:11-12, Paul says

'I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 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.'

1 Timothy 6:6-8
But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.

We know that He is faithful. Our needs will be met. That should be enough; more than enough.
