1 " When we turn life’s little pleasures into remedies for life’s troubles, we are setting up idols in our hearts, which actually push God aside. "
― Lydia Brownback , Contentment: A Godly Woman's Adornment
2 " Happiness, or contentment, comes from where we look and what we believe, not from what we have. "
3 " We may not be able to change our circumstances, but we can change the way we think about them. "
4 " Contentment does not lie around the next corner. It is not waiting for us on the other side of today’s difficulty, nor is it lost with yesterday. Contentment is where God is, and God is with us today. "
5 " We will never find contentment—freedom from that angry feeling of unfairness—by getting the things that are rightfully ours. We will find it by letting go of our entitlement to them. "
6 " Our problem really isn’t that we need something we don’t have; our problem is that we don’t find God to be enough for us. "
