It is to be truly happy, to be truly content in belonging to the God who is God. Therefore contentment is the mother of all graces. For out of the womb of contentment is born thankfulness and joyfulness and energy and usefulness in our Christian walk. The word contentment is a very beautiful word in the Scriptures. If depression may be said to be the life in darkness, contentment is the life in the sunshine of God's countenance.
Contentment beautifies the Christian life.
God Himself is the complete and sufficient One. He is full. Contentment, therefore, involves God. Contentment can be found only when the God of the Bible is our God by His grace. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
