Do you find yourself unhappy? Do you notice yourself experiencing prolonged sadness? Are you surprised when even good things don't brighten up your day? Are you frustrated by your inability to "snap out" of it?

During many seasons of my life, I have had to deal with the very same feelings. Thankfully, I think I've found a cure.

THE CURE IS CONTENTMENT.

Being deeply grateful for what you already have. Needing absolutely nothing else to feel complete. Feeling extremely satisfied with what you've been given.

THE CURE IS CONTENTMENT.

Not being owned by success. Not being enslaved by approval. Not being driven by materialism.

THE CURE IS CONTENTMENT.

Wonder and awe for what is. Understanding and patience for what isn't. Peace and serenity for what will or will not be.

THE CURE IS CONTENTMENT.

The quality of someone who sees God's goodness. The character trait of someone who recognizes God's faithfulness. The response of someone who experiences God's grace.

THE CURE IS CONTENTMENT.

Without it, you feel like you're missing out. Without it, you're convinced God is not for you. Without it, you believe you're getting the short end of the stick.

THE CURE IS CONTENTMENT.

A pre-requisite for being entrusted with more. A must have for being blessed with abundance. A necessary ingredient for being ready for greater.

THE CURE IS CONTENTMENT.

Find it. Practice it. Embrace it.

Life without it is a carousel of misery.
