Contentment



When you accept rather than fight your circumstances,
 even though you don't understand them,
you open your heart's gate to
 God's love, peace, joy,
and contentment.
  ~ Amy Carmichael ~ 

For I have learned
in whatever state I am,
to be content
Philippians 4:11b

  1. Your post is encouraging and much needed today. I find myself each day in a battle for contentment in excepting my circumstances, but with God's help I know the victory will come for He is in control.
