“…in a world where what we want
is only what we want
until it’s ours…”

What is contentment?

I like this last paragraph in an article by Camerin Courtney for the Singles issue of Chritianity Today:
“I’m beginning to realize true godly contentment looks more like Psalm 46:10 (NASB), “Cease striving and know that I am God.” Or in considering the ravens or the lilies (Luke 12:24-28)
and how God provides for them. Or in knowing that our fulfillment won’t
come through purchasing, acquiring, marrying, accomplishing, doing,
growing, impressing, or any other -ing than simply being. Being a child
of God. Being in his presence. Being lost in his love and guided by his
unique purpose for our life. If only we’d learn that art of being, I
think we’d finally be on our way to contentment—whether or not
there’s a motorcycle in our driveway, whiter teeth in our mouth, or a
spouse at our side.”
