Contentment and Godliness

Contentment and Godliness 

are traveling companions.

You can't separate these two.

You can't have one without the other...

If they are separated...

Contentment will settle for little,

(like the man who buried his talent)

Godliness will boast of nothing

(all form, but no power)

Together, they are great gain.

There is great gain because they have 

ONE Vision.

The hope of glory, found in the face of Christ.

This is why,
 in whatever circumstance 

you find them,

they STAY on the road, 
and keep walking.

Struggles, Storms, Stresses...
do not slow their pace. 
They are on a mission 

that is more important 
than their own comfort.

When we fail to see their connection,
we complain, and

like the rest of the world, 
live roller coaster

 (ie up and down)

lives.

"The secret of contentment is the realization that life is a gift, not a right."~author unknown

"True contentment is a real, even an active, virtue---not only affirmative but creative. It is the power of getting out of any situation all there is in it." ~G.K. Chesterton
