Contentment

Proverbs 23:17-18 (NIV) 17  Do not let your heart envy sinners, but always be zealous for the fear of the LORD. 18  There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.

Proverbs 17:22 (NIV) A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

1 Timothy 6:6 (NIV) But godliness with contentment is great gain.

To have what we want is riches; but to be able to do without is power.  George Macdonald (1824-1905)
