Contentment is a virtue that we receive from God. Bible verses teach us the importance of cultivating this attitude in every area of our lives. Contentment will help us to be honest and keep us away from problems.
This virtue helps us to be humble in living a prosperous life in every circumstance that we find ourselves. Jesus was the Son of God but He lived on earth being content knowing that He is here on a mission to fulfill His father’s will.
