The Blessing of Contentment

I bless your soul

To savor the serenity

Of true contentment.

May you discover with Paul

How to be at peace

“In whatever situation….” (Philippians 4:11)

To know…

“How to be brought low,

How to abound,

In any

And every

Circumstance…”

To embrace …

“The secret of facing

Plenty and hunger,

Abundance and need.” (Philippians 4:12)

Your circumstances

Do not define you.

The ups and downs of

Life’s rollercoaster

Do not determine your destiny.

Sometimes life clacks slowly uphill.

Sometimes it plunges straight down.

Sometimes it swirls and throws you sideways.

But this rollercoaster ride

Is headed toward a happy end—

The glory of God.

So enjoy the ride, child of God,

Enjoy the ride.
