Nancy Leigh DeMossContentment is just the realization that God has already provided for me today all that I need for my present peace and happiness.
Nancy Leigh DeMossIt's bad enough for me to make choices that hurt my own relationship with God. How much more serious is it to be the cause of someone else deciding to sin? Not only must I choose the pathway of holiness for God's sake and for my own sake; I must also do it for the sake of others.

The Truth is that those who insist on having their own way often end up with unnecessary heartache, while those who wait on the Lord always get His best.
