"The LORD will give strength to his people, the LORD will bless his people with peace"
-- Psalm 29:11 / New King James Version
Everywhere we turn, so it seems, the world promises us contentment and happiness. But the contentment that the world offers is fleeting and incomplete. Thankfully, the contentment that God offers is all encompassing and everlasting. Happiness depends less upon our circumstances than upon our thoughts. When we turn our thoughts to God, to his gifts and to his glorious creation, we experience the joy that God intends for His children. But, when we focus on the negative aspects of life we cause ourselves needless suffering.
Do you sincerely want to be a contented (fulfilled) Christian? Then set your mind and your heart upon God's love and His grace. Seek first the salvation that is available through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and then claim the joy, the contentment, and the spiritual abundance that the Shepherd offers His sheep!

Lord, You offer us contentment and peace; let us accept Your peace. Help us to trust Your Word, to follow Your commandments, and to welcome the peace of Jesus into our hearts, today and forever.
