Am I content?

Tuesday, June 5th, 2007

Am I content? What a question to ask one’s self
when in a world of wants, one dwells
and credit cards are used like spells
to get a “must have” for that shelf.

Does it really matter you ask?
to be content with what you have…
to feel a joy nothing can halve…
It does, if in truth one is to bask.

For contentment is not a prize
to be sought or bought with money.
It is priceless, sweet as honey
found in Christ, by all who are wise.

While money is just uncertain
a supply, you can run short of
God’s promises, mercy and love
are limitless, always certain.

So if one asks with true intent
I pray that the answer would be
a joyful “Yes!” for you and me.
In God’s great love - I am content!
