Thank You: gratitude and contentment by ric gustafson
The Apostle Paul was a thankful man. He was satisfied with his life. He was content with a little or a lot. Gratitude and contentment go hand in hand. Grumbling and discontentment also go hand in hand. So why sometimes are we dissatisfied?.
Discontentment is part of our old nature. When we are born again, God gives us a new nature. Even though we gave our lives to Jesus, sin is not dead to us. We are still tempted. When we are tempted, we can tell evil to go away. Satan tries to make us discontent. Satan wants to keep us weak.
Are we satisfied with what God has given us?. Jesus died for us. He took all of our punishment. He rose again from the dead so we can live with him forever.
I pray that we will be totally satsified with what Jesus has given us. Jesus loves us more than anything else.
