Being content in life is a virtue. Becoming a content with a relationship with Jesus Christ is a sheer treasure. God does not promise to give us everything we want, but His Word does say that He will provide all our needs, plus gives us the desire of our heart.
(SPIRITUAL REFLECTION: Psalms 23:1) “The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.”
If we intentionally focus our minds to understand and agree with God’s will, we can see that if we don’t have something in life it is because of a morality that we don’t need it. And for our hearts to become joyful about such a relationship is key to obtaining a deep admiration in this world. Thus, our heart is focus on agreeing with God’s will and being content with the morality of having a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Reflect on this story in the Bible- Luke 10:38-42- “As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened here home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said, But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!’
‘Martha, Martha,’ the Lord answered, 'you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed- or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.’”
We see that Mary was happy sitting at the feet of Jesus and listening to Him talk. Martha was not doing something wrong, but she found herself wanting something she felt that she did not have. It turned out that she did not need what she wanted. Her attitude was negative, and Mary’s attitude was blessed, guarded and positive. This illustration reflects all reality of the human heart and our desire to be happy. Happiness is a discipline art based on the skills of crafting our belief system to embrace Jesus’ will within our lives. This concept creates a solid, system of belief, core, spirit and will. This is a force of gravity for our souls and salvation.
