It’s okay to want more out of life, but don’t want out of envy. There’s happiness in being content. Faith in God & doing what he puts in your heart will bring you what you need & more. Those that live life striving for more out of envy will find nothing but gloom in the end. Find happiness where you are to get more from life.
Proverbs 14:30 A tranquil heart gives life to the flesh, but envy makes the bones rot.
Philippians 4:11 Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content.
Have a content week my friends!!!
Be thankful every day. Show your thankfulness to others with appreciation for them. Give thanks to God every day for what He provides for you. Count your blessings instead of your wants. A thankful heart is a happy heart.
I know we are to be content, but can we be too content? I believe it’s good to want better. Better health, better wealth, better thoughts, better happiness, better life, etc. Don’t want better things out of greed, but want better for peace & joy. This new year I will strive to be more diligent to do better. Better in the things I should be doing anyway. Better at being a good dad. Better at being a good friend. Better at being organized. Better at reaching goals. Better at being a good example. Better at all things that will improve my life. Better at being healthy. Better at helping others. Better at being better.
