It is impatience with time, immaturity of thought, and impoliteness to God.” – William Ward It is unawareness of the presence of beauty, unconcern for the needs of our fellowman, and unbelief in the promises of old. It is ingratitude for the blessings of yesterday, indifference to the opportunities of today, and insecurity regarding strength for tomorrow. “Discouragement is dissatisfaction with the past, distaste for the present, and distrust of the future. What you are, that you are neither by word can you be made greater than what you are in the sight of God.” – Thomas a Kempis You are not holier if you are praised, nor the more worthless if you are found fault with. He will easily be content and pacified, whose conscience is pure.
“He has great tranquility of heart who cares neither for the praises nor the fault-finding of men. “If there is any one thing that will bring peace and contentment into the human heart, and into the family, it is to live within our means.” – Heber J. “The very first temptation in the history of mankind was the temptation to be discontent…that is exactly what discontent(ment) is – a questioning of the goodness of God.” – Jerry Bridges “This is God’s universal purpose for all Christian suffering: more contentment in God and less satisfaction in the world.” – John Piper “To rejoice in another’s prosperity is to give content to your lot to mitigate another’s grief is to alleviate or dispel your own.” – Tryon Edwards It is arduous and it is rare.” – Gilbert K. It is the power of getting out of any situation all that there is in it. “True contentment is a thing as active as agriculture. “We should purify our innate well of contentment – what a wonderful expression – and then external things will be in harmony with us.” – Eckhart Tolle If you are not content with what you have, you would not be satisfied if it were doubled.” – Charles Spurgeon “You say, ‘If I had a little more, I should be very satisfied.’ You make a mistake.
