CONTENTMENT IS A GREAT VIRTUE FOR ALL BELIEVERS

What is Contentment?

Contentment means being thankful and happy with what you have. It’s about trusting God, even when things aren’t perfect.

A lot think tend to what this or that, forgetting that it is the lord that provide, we tend to forget that what we see or own is not ours but it is God who gives it to us, even our lives we don't own it, but it is the lord that owes it, be satisfy with what you have maybe then God will see your heart and add to what you need. God knows what we want even before you pray for it, don't try to size yourself into another person's shoes, cause the great cobbler knows your size and he won't  give you what is not yours.  You might be facing hard times now, this shouldn't make you feel bad, because he is preparing something great for us sometimes waiting is part of preparation for what is to come.

Bible Verse:

“I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.” – Philippians 4:11

Why is Contentment Important?

When we are content, we feel peace. We stop comparing ourselves to others and start trusting God to take care of us.

It is important because  what you think  you want might not be what God really want for you. That is why you need to be content,
