Proverbs 15:16 (NASB) Better is a little with the fear of the LORD Than great treasure and turmoil with it.
1 Timothy 6:6 (NASB) But godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment.
Hebrews 13:5 (NASB) Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, "I WILL NEVER DESERT YOU, NOR WILL I EVER FORSAKE YOU,"
We ask less of this life because we know full well that more is coming in the next. The art of living with suffering is just the art of readjusting our expectations in the here and the now.—Joni Eareckson Tada
