Being comfortable, satisfied, happy and joyous where God has placed you. With what God has given you, blessed you with, spiritually, physically and emotionally

Contentment is not laziness, nor mediocrity, nor complacency.

Stay away from Greed and the love of money A man or woman's life does not consist in the abundance of their possessions.

Understand that money can do a lot of things for you but cannot give you the things that matter the most in life.

Key to contentment: 1)understand who God is- the creator, sustainer, your father who loves you with an everlasting unconditional faithful love. Christ, the supreme one.

2)who you are in God, in Christ.-

Use your gifts, talents, your life that is anointed and fulfill your calling and destiny in Christ.

Questions for thought and discussion.

How do I know when I am greedy?

How can I assess that I love money?

Where truly is my security?

What are the features or signs of discontent? Do I have any of these?

What am I most concerned about, worried about or afraid of?

Am I using my gifts/talents and living or growing into my full potential? What challenges?
