Christian contentment is that sweet, inward, quiet, gracious frame of spirit, which freely submits to and delights in God's wise and fatherly disposal in every condition.

A noble heart is a thankful heart that loves to acknowledge whenever it has received any mercy.

Thus, a godly man wonders at his cross that it is not more, a wicked man wonders his cross is so much.

When God has given you your heart's desire, what have you done with your heart's desire?

But if I have once overcome my heart, and am contented through the grace of God in my heart, then this makes me content not only in one particular but in general, whatever befalls me.

It is a special part of the divine worship that we owe to God, to be content in a Christian way, as has been shown to you.

Note this, I beseech you: in active obedience we worship God by doing what pleases God, but by passive obedience we do as well worship God by being pleased with what God does.
