Godliness with contentment

I Timothy 6:6 "Now there is great gain in godliness with contentment"

If you are godly without being content, you are missing out on what the Lord has for you right now because you are too focused on your plans, your life, and what you want. Being godly and content leads to great gain where the Lord blesses you for trusting in Him and you will find joy because you can see what the Lord is doing for you. When you're not content, all you can see is how _blank_ is not working out how you thought it was going to and you can't even see what the Lord is doing because you are so blinded by what you want and think you need.
I was talking to my friend Aimee today on the phone, and I was completely blown away by her joy. She says she wakes up every morning so thankful for her awesome life because the Lord has been so good to her. She is amazed every minute of how the Lord is ordaining things in her life to His perfect timing, and how, time and after time, His plan always proves to be the best. He will always be faithful to bring about good in every circumstance. He promises to do that.

As my friend Sean Mayo says: "Godliness with contentment. If you are not now because of circumstances, what makes you think you will be? Life happens to be hard... He happens to be all powerful and all loving."
