"Contentment is not the fulfillment of what you want, but the realization of how much you already have." -unknown
Sometimes it feels like if we could just have more, we would be happy. If only I could have a better job, or a better house, or a spouse, or a child, or more respect... if only I could acheive more in life...the list goes on. We all have deep desires in our hearts. Those dreams have purpose. It isn't that we should let our dreams go, but we also shouldn't wager our entire happiness on whether or not those dreams come true for us. God has a plan for our lives, and we have to find a way to be content with his timing. It's not easy. But we can't have peace and joy in this moment of our lives without understanding patience and contentment. Look at the blessings you have and be thankful. Trust God and know that if what you desire is truly God's will, it will happen someday. Ask Him to give you patience to wait on Him.
"I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances." Philippians 4:11
