Contentment
In 1 Timothy 6:6-8, the apostle Paul says that he has learned to be content in all circumstances. What this really means is that contentment is a state of the heart and not of the lack or abundance of things on the outside. When we rest in God we find peace and contentment that makes our lives completely satisfied where we are. We don’t want or long anything for ourselves but look for the welfare of others. Our focus is now shifted from ourselves to others. That is contentment – not wanting anything for ourselves but all for the other person.
