I am Content

 

Contentment a word that has given me a new appreciation for life, a word that puts my life into perspective in so many ways.

 

The Bible is clear about being content according to Philippians 4:11 "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 have little and I know what it is to have much, in both circumstances I have learnt to be content. Contentment is a personal journey and one has to experience the beauty thereof for oneself as we are all individual and unique. In life we will be tested, we will be tried and we have to go through the process and come out on the other side refined and and changed, having passed the test and lesson learnt. Run your own race, its not a competition, its not a game, it a journey of pure refinement.

 

My experience with being content has taught me to love myself, love the body I have, love the family I have, love the home I have, love the job I have, love the people God has entrusted me with. Choosing to stay in peace and not allowing myself to get intimidated or react to situations that will steal my joy and peace.

 

I choose to be content, I choose to stay in prayer, I choose peace, I choose joy, I choose to love, I choose to forgive, I choose Life.

 

I hope this post inspired you to find contentment within the deepest part of you, it is within you, find it.
