St. Paul's Contentment
Philippians 4:11
Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatever state I am, therewith to be content.


If his trials were clouds upon his heavens, his contentment was the deep sunlight in which they bathed; and, just like the clouds of an evening sky, they made the heavens more beautiful than if no clouds were there.

(L. S. Spencer, D. D.)
