Content

"If you need anything let us know. We'll teach you how to live without it."

This is a phrase from a conversation between a hard-charged executive and a monastery monk who decided to spend a few days in it. It's very interesting isn't it? It is true that in our lives there were things that we couldn't easily let go, some people have a lot and some people have very few. But no matter what, God wants us to live in content. That doesn't mean we stop working hard for everything but instead, it means learning how to live with what God gave you. Most of our lives, we spend by getting what we want don't we? How many times did you give thanks to God about what you have today? And try to compare with how much you ask from God?

Well, it's really difficult for us to live like Paul... Me myself too. But i believe living in contentment is far more better than living with requests everyday, because
"Our hearts will never rest, until they rest in Thee."
Yeah... I guess that's one more thing i have to learn in life.
