Godliness With Contentment Is of Great Gain

Are the riches in life what 
you wish to obtain?
"Godliness with contentment
 is of great gain."

Being content and Godly 
is often difficult to do.
With the constant plasures 
of life alluring you.

"How can one be content?" 
You may ask.
God will never require of you
 an impossible task.

A peace beyond understanding
 you will find.
When you begin to walk 
with a Christ-like mind.

The tresure of knowing Jesus 
will abide very well.
He gives  more joy than words could ever tell!

"Take this world but give me Jesus," 
will be your heart's cry.
All of your needs--God will supply!

True contentment comes from 
falling in love with him.
His grace is sufficient for what
 "feels empty within."

Don't be "held down" by 
things only temporary.
Enter God's haven of rest...  His sanctuary!

The joy of knowing Jesus will 
bring peace to your soul!
By allowing him to bring restoration 
and to make you whole!
