Open as PDF

"I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.
I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to
have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content
in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry,
whether living in plenty or in want." Philippians 4:11-12

"Christian contentment is that sweet, inward,
quiet, gracious frame of spirit, which freely submits
to and delights in God's wise and fatherly disposal
in every condition." (Jeremiah Burroughs)

"The way to true riches," says one, "is not to increase
our heaps; but to diminish the covetousness of our hearts."

"He who is satisfied with a little; he who is contented
with God's allowance—he is the happy man. (Brooks)

"Keep your lives free from the love of money and
be content with what you have, because God has
said—Never will I leave you; never will I forsake
you." Hebrews 13:5

"But godliness with contentment is great gain.
For we brought nothing into the world, and we
can take nothing out of it. But if we have food
and clothing, we will be content with that."
1 Timothy 6:6-8
