Value is seeing yourself through God’s eyes

Value is seeing yourself through God’s eyes. You are His most precious possession. You are His very heart. See the value you bring the world in seeing who you are.

The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress and grow brave by reflection. ‘Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.
-Thomas Paine

Contentment

To be content is to know who you are, to know who is in control of all things and to know the truth in every situation so that you may experience victory and freedom in every situation.
-Dr. Keith & Laurie Nemec

Phil 4:11-13
I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.  I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.  I can do everything through him who gives me strength. NIV

He who desires nothing will always be free.

The only person in this world who enjoys complete contentment is the person who knows that the only worthwhile and satisfying life is to be a means, however humble, to God’s chief end his own glory and praise.

But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.

NIV

-C. H. Spurgeon

 Heb 13:5-6
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said,
“Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” So we say with confidence,
“The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me?” NIV
