Contentment - Nick Vujicic

Contentment

I've thought a lot about contentment and I think its a funny thing. Sometimes I wish "Ohh if only it were holidays things would be so much better." or "Oh man holidays are so boring, I wish uni were on then things would be so much more exciting." or "Ohh man if only I were in Heaven things would be so much better."

But then I bet Nick Vujicic (see below) has thought more than not "If only I had limbs life would be so much better." But would it be? Would he have the same unhappiness and discontentment about different things? Are we who do have limbs happy? I think it all comes down to your perspective and and how you see your situation.

Paul said: "... I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength." (Philippians 4:11-13 TNIV).

I really hope and pray that God will one day teach me the secret of contentment.
