Contentment

“To become content Christ must teach the soul this, so that, as in the presence of God on a real sight of itself, it can say:‘Lord I am nothing, Lord, I deserve nothing, Lord, I can do nothing, Lord, I deserve nothing, Lord, I am worse than nothing, and if I come to nothing and I perish I will be no loss at all, and therefore is it such a great thing for me to be cut short here?’A man who is little in his own eyes will account every affliction as little, and every mercy as great.”Jeremiah Burroughs
