Contentment in God

Happiness is often fleeting, but joy is rooted in God’s presence. Life presents many challenges, yet each is an opportunity to grow and discover our inner strength. When we remain connected to Jesus, we bear fruit beyond measure. Earthly desires can never fully satisfy, and greed leads to emptiness. Desiring less opens the heart to God’s abundant blessings. Like the poor widow who gave her two coins, small acts of love carry immense value. Charity is measured by its impact on the heart, not the material gift. True joy is found when we place our trust in God alone. Let go of fear, worry, and sorrow, and embrace the comfort that comes from above. The Lord never abandons those who seek Him faithfully.

—Ephraim Itaman
