A Process, not a destination.

Contentment.  
What does it really mean?  Websters 1913 states: 
1. The state of being contented or satisfied; content. Contentment without external honor is humility. Grew. Godliness with contentment is great gain. 1 Tim. vi. 6
2. The act or process of contenting or satisfying; as, the contentment of avarice is impossible.
3. Gratification; pleasure; satisfaction
That's great..can I even have that? 


We live in a world where we are bombarded with covert messages: This item/book/trip will make you happier, satisfied, and more complete if you buy it.  
Even in the Christian realm, we are sent messages through various media that we need more!  More power, more money(to help others of course), more people to fill the church, more time, more bibles, more workers, more prayer(not a bad idea), bigger churches.
How quickly we are washed into a life of discontentment, like a tide that is going out to sea.  It pulls you under when you least expect it.  And once there, can easily be lost in the raging waves. 


It takes passion and resolve to swim back to the shore of contentment.  
The choice to stay is a moment by moment decision.  Meditate on the Truth, be alert, for  the thief comes to steal, kill and destroy.  


Be (and active verb) satisfied, happy, joyful in your circumstances, content with what you have and thankful. 


Life is a process of transformation... find contentment.
