Contentedness is a tricky thing.
It likes to elude us.
The world is full of wonderful experiences and shiny things and we want as much of it as we can get our grubby little hands on.
The reality is that we are successful in obtaining most of what we want.
But it’s not enough. We want more.
I heard one man say, “Everything is amazing and nobody is happy.”
It’s true. We live in the most amazing time of any, yet we aren’t happy.
This unhappiness stems from ingratitude for that which we have and a constant desire for more.
But isn’t it good enough? Isn’t what you already have good enough?
Isn’t your home good enough or do you need another?
Isn’t your car good enough or do you need a bigger one, a faster one or a red one?
Isn’t your husband good enough?
Aren’t your kids good enough?
Isn’t your church good enough?
Isn’t your pastor good enough?
Isn’t your income high enough?
Isn’t your family enough?
What is it going to take to make you finally happy?
Are you sure that once you get it that you won’t want something else after that?
The eyes of man are never satisfied.
