Contentment

We all want a life that brings contentment,
But we shouldn’t look at others harboring resentment.
Is contentment fewer troubles, love, or success?
True, the lack of these things can lead to distress.
Contentment comes from embracing, life where you are,*
But it’s hard to be content when things aren’t up to par.
Too often, circumstances, determines attitude,
Not counting blessings and being filled with gratitude.
Move beyond slighted feelings and start living by trust,
Pushing aside any thoughts that God has been unjust.
When we move past our feelings of being grandeur,
We become spiritually rich, in the Lord, while poor.
*1 Timothy 6:7-8 KJV
For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
