The power of contentment is highly UNDER-rated. Contentment is what helps us center our life in peace. The constant striving for more and any unhappiness with what we presently have can rob us of any peace that we might enjoy. But to be content almost seems like stagnation - aren't we suppose to be becoming more like Christ? More prosperous? More mature? The answer is yes, we are to continually press for these things but at the same time realizing that God loves us just the way we are, right now and right here. His love and acceptance is not based on what we will become. Instead, the Word says that while we were yet sinners He died for us. Before we became anything! So the Word calls us to be content and yet press on. This is how we can keep our peace and joy AND look up and beyond ourselves and keep growing.
