Lately I have heard lots of people talking about contentment and it got me thinking.
First I looked it up in the dictionary;
- a state of happiness and satisfaction.
I also searched what the bible says:
Content; Contentment
CONTENT; CONTENTMENT
kon-tent', kon-tent'-ment (ya`al; arkeo):
To be free from care because of satisfaction with what is already one's own. The Hebrew means simply "to be pleased." The Greek brings out the full force of the word in 1 Timothy 6:8; Hebrews 13:5. Contentment (1 Timothy 6:6) is more inward than satisfaction; the former is a habit or permanent state of mind, the latter has to do with some particular occurrence or object.
So then,what is contentment?
The reality is that I think it is different for everyone. We all find our pleasure and happiness in different things and that is what makes us all different.
For me these 2 pictures sum up being content
