Being Content

      Most people have one big problem; they don’t know how to be content with what they have.  I too am guilty of not being content. (Philippians 4:11   Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned in whatsoever state I am to be content.) I find that I often times overlook all the wonderful things I have and focus on the things I want or don’t have instead.  It makes for a very unhappy life when we always think about what we want and not about the things we have.  I have learned that it is better to be content with what you have.

     Be content with what God has given you, what he has allowed you to have. Be content with where you are at in your life with what God is doing in your life even when you think you should be doing something else. God has a plan for our lives, we don’t always know what that plan is but we have to trust that God knows best and be content!

Ambassador for Christ

    We are ambassadors for Christ!( 2Corinthians 5:20   Now then we are Ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.)  Everything we do should reflect Gods love and kindness. We are representing him every day. When we leave the house we should be thinking how can I be a good Ambassador for Christ today? What can I do that lets people see God through me? We need to remember that other people are watching everything we do. In every situation we need to ask ourselves what would Jesus do? When we do what is good and kind and right we are being good ambassadors for Christ.
