My Reflections

Contentment

Let's write about contentment. Are you content with what you have or are you always trying to get more?

I would like to think I am content for the most part. I think contentment is learned. Paul said he had learned contentment too.
Philippians 4:11-12
11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

I find it interesting that it is after these verses that he says he can do all things through Christ who strengthens him. (Philippians 4:13)
