Contentment
Someone told me before “You look contented in your life”. Actually, I was, and I am getting more contented each and every day. I don’t have a lot of things, actually, most people thought I have something because of the visible things I possess which they see on me like my dental braces, my cellphone, etc. Actually, my family really has something here. I mean, we grew up having more things we needed and wanted. Despite that, I still gain the least. They just give me my exact allowance and some of my essentials in school and at home. Really, I did not have a lot of savings. But that’s not what is really essential in this thing I repeatedly say and describe–life. We can never be happy with material things.
I learned to be happy in all things I receive. If they give me something big, then fine, and if nothing is reserved for me, then it’s OK. I learned to be patient and wait for my turn. I know man will not give me the best rewards because the highly ones will be coming from the Supreme one. He’s really the best because if He gives time for me to shine, He makes sure that I was the only one standing highly and brightly among the crowds. Do you know the secret to life? The secret is right just on his Word. Try to reflect on Matthew 6:33 and Psalms 37:4 (I have mentioned this before and now I’m testifying the power of these words to my life). I repeat, He never fails on keeping His promises.
I read a message and it says there “I may not have everything but at least I never have nothing.” Of course, if we have God in our life, at first, we might notice we are running out of what we have or we don’t have nothing, but in the long run, if we keep on struggling and seeking for His kingdom, everything will be given to us.
Personally, I don’t ask God for material things but only wisdom and a flaming fire in seeking Him. But you know, He always provides me everything I need and wanted (and even the things I really don’t need but gives happiness to someone). He gives me material things, good health, wisdom, knowledge, family, great friends, suitors…(joke! hehehehe 
) What more can I ask for? I have no room for my happiness. Nothing compares to the feeling of being contented. The best things are yet to come.
