Are You Content?

I Timothy 6:6 tell us that godliness with contentment is great gain. Contentment comes from within. It destroys jealousy and celebrates the success of others. It does not matter what you accomplish, if you never master contentment you will never be free. The great gain of godliness, which should remain our goal and contentment should become the birthing place where the greater in you comes to fruition. Enjoy Where You are Until You Get to Where You are Going! How do we lose contentment? I have come to know that you must learn from others without ever losing the core of who you are. Cultivation is good, but do not allow anyone to mutilate the person you were created to become. Remember, you have the power over your life because God gave it to you. No, you are not exempt from life’s challenges and adversity. Be prepared for the unexpected events that are sure to occur. Whatever life sends your way, pursue the peace of God. With that, what should I be content in; what do I have to hold on to…some may ask? I say, be content in knowing that you are a melody waiting to be sung. That you are a best-selling book waiting to be written and that you were created in the image and likeness of God, now that is Good News! Be content in knowing that when everyone’s back is facing you and everything is changing…you can hold on to God’s UNchanging hand! Im Content in Knowing that My Soul is Anchored in Jesus! As I close this very brief message I feel the need to tell you one of the things I love about Jesus. Hear this; His love is not contingent upon your performance. He loves you without restriction and in that love you can be perfectly content. I pray you are blessed by this reading and that you will pass it along. I love you with the love of Christ. Step out of fear and into Faith, Elder Bertrina Hebrews 11:6
