I’ve learned by now to be quite content whatever my circumstances. I’m just as happy with little as with much, with much as with little. I’ve found the recipe for being happy whether full or hungry, hands full or hands empty.<\/p>\n 1 Timothy 6:6-8<\/strong> (NLT) 2.\u00a0 Contentment DOES Message<\/strong> Hebrews 13:5-6 (NLT)<\/p>\n <\/strong>\u00a05<\/sup> Don\u201d\u2122t love money; be satisfied with what you have.

\nOnly God\u201d\u2122s grace in Jesus can make you truly content!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n10<\/sup> How I praise the Lord that you are concerned about me again. I know you have always been concerned for me, but you didn\u201d\u2122t have the chance to help me. 11<\/sup> Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. <\/p>\n

\n6<\/sup> Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth. 7<\/sup> After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can\u201d\u2122t take anything with us when we leave it. 8<\/sup> So if we have enough food and clothing, let us be content.<\/p>\n
\nDepend on Jesus<\/strong> (13)<\/p>\n
\n\u00a0<\/strong>
\nWhatever I have, wherever I am, I can make it through anything in the One who makes me who I am.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI will never fail you.
\nI will never abandon you.\u201d
\n6<\/sup> So we can say with confidence,
\n\u201cThe Lord is my helper,
\nso I will have no fear.
\nWhat can mere people do to me?\u201d<\/p>\n
