Therefore I am heir of the kingdom of God. The proof that that confession is genuine will be found in a life of contentment. You do not need to put your hand over fire to prove to others that you are genuine about what you say as a Christian. You do not need simply to be able to walk the gauntlet of public scorn. But a life of contentment, as you live it before your children and before the world and before your friends, is the strongest witness you could ever give of your confession.
Contentment seals our confession.
Contentment is seen in our life when, at all times, it becomes obvious to others that we believe we are in the hands of God. In a life of contentment we are showing that we believe the power and the grace of God. I have no more desires on earth if I have Thee. I do not lack. It is to be truly happy, to be truly content in belonging to the God who is God.
