Be Content
The book most influential to me
is one that was divinely sent
written by puritan Thomas Watson
‘the art of divine contentment’
It changed my mind completely overnight
bringing an inward peace so unknown
for before being filled with many fears
never known contentment as heart of stone
This was a real learning curve
getting to grips with my inner heart
receive God’s grace to powerfully effect
just like a sharp piercing dart
This contentment is a blessed thing
holds one together in a settled calm
makes me able to withdraw all
so settled and firm with Gilead like balm
Be content such important lesson
fill the mind with this so true
so thankful for this great book
read it again soon this I must do
(‘the most influential book upon me has been ‘the art of divine contentment’ by the puritan Thomas Watson so this is my thoughts upon its effect’)
