It is Lovely to be Content
1 Timothy: Chapter 6 verse 6
But godliness with contentment is great gain.

To be content is something wonderful, we are to be content in all circumstances but most times we are definitely not! What do you think is the reason why we are not content? Could it be that we are not walking in godliness? I think that may be a lot to do with it. whatever is going on in your life today try to be content with what you have, try not to yearn for things that cannot be. Let us praise The Lord for what we already have.

We are all individuals, all different as people, just as snowflakes are different but are still snowflakes. God made everyone according to a pattern. So we are made, according to a pattern. We are made in the image of God.
Well there we are then, we need to be content with being who we are especially knowing that God has made us to be who we are. So let us try to be content today in the knowledge that Jesus loves us and has sent His Holy Spirit to help and enable us to try to be content while we live on this Earth. Let us appreciate our Families and Friends, our Workmates, our Pets. Let us be content just where we are and then we can feel the peace of The Lord in our daily lives.
HAVE A LOVELY DAY * GOD BLESS YOU *
Contentment
This is an Oil Painting that I did of The Good Shepherd
Philippians: Chapter 4 verse 11
I am not saying this because I am in need,
for I have learned to be content
whatever the circumstances.

Today is the start of a new month, let us endeavor to be content if we can this month in what ever circumstances we find ourselves. Let us rest in the knowledge and love of Jesus that He is with us everyday, comforting and guiding us by His Holy Spirit.

The above Bible quote was spoken by St.Paul, so it would be good if we can follow his example and be content just where we are. I know that we all have problems and hope for better things to come sometimes. However that may take a while for our circumstances to change. But while we are waiting for things to change in our lives it is a good idea to appreciate the things we have.
We can appreciate having a roof over our heads, food, shelter, water, especially if we are blessed with a family, let us be content with having them in our lives.
Another thing that helps us to be content is if we have a Pet animal, we can be content that we are giving our Pet a good home, that can be a real blessing to our-self and of course to our beloved Pet.
When we can be content it is surprising what The Lord Jesus can do to encourage us with even more blessings that we ask for.
What about any talents that we have been given, are we using them to please God Our Father in Heaven? Even in our everyday work we can be content in doing it to the best of our ability – then we will be content at the end of the day that we have done our best in what ever circumstance we have found our-self.
This is one of my better photo’s – hope you like it.
May God – Jesus – and The Holy Spirit help you to be Content today.

Contentment
The Painting above is of a Vision someone had and asked me to paint it for them.
1 Timothy: Chapter 6 verse 6
But godliness
with contentment
is great gain.

To be content is something wonderful, we are to be content in all circumstances but most times we are definitely not!
What do you think is the reason why we are not content?
Could it be that we are not walking in godliness?
I think that may be a lot to do with it. Whatever is going on in your life today try to be content with what you have, try not to yearn for things that cannot be.
Let us praise The Lord for what we already have.

So today let us think what we have that we can be content about…..most of us have shelter, food, family and finance. We have lovely flowers and animals, we have produce in abundance here in Australia.
We can be proud of our Country – being content that we have freedom of speech – so we can say Jesus is Lord of all the Earth and of all that is in it.
Regarding Creation – we can be content about that because Jesus organized it, no it did not evolve. So we can be content in the knowledge that He made for instance an Oak Tree and that throughout time it has not evolved into something else: i.e. each reproduces its own kind from the seed that was put into it, even animals and human beings. Just as simple as that!!!!!!
Let us believe and be content to read about these things in our Bible and not doubt.
Let us be or try to be more Godly and walk in godliness with the contentment that we can only know by walking with Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour.
God Bless you with Love and Contentment today.
We are all individuals, all different as people, just as snowflakes are different but are still snowflakes. God made everyone according to a pattern.
So we are made, according to a pattern.
We are made in the image of God.
