THE RARE JEWELL OF CHRISTIAN CONTENTMENT

 

"Contentment is a disposition of mind in which our desires are confined to what we enjoy, without murmuring at our lot, or wishing ardently for more." (Buck) "It is no other than the entire acquiescence of a man's mind in his lot and portion, in his state and condition in the present life, be it what it may, prosperous or adverse. " (Gill) If this is contentment, it is indeed a rare jewel! How rich that man must be who desires no more than he possesses! Is there a man, woman, or child who having Christ could wish for more? If Christ is mine, I have all and abound. I must be content.
