Little or Much

He that is down needs fear no fall,
He that is low, no pride;
He that is humble ever shall
Have God to be his guide.

I am content with what I have,
Little it be or much;
And, Lord, contentment shall I crave,
Because Thou savest such.

Fullness to such a burden is
That go on pilgrimage;
Here little, and hereafter bliss,
Is best from age to age.
John Bunyan


How content are you? 
You will find all you need in Christ Jesus, forgiveness for your sin, joy, peace, eternal life. Repent and receive and live a life of contentment despite trials, tribulations, pain, sorrow, persecution, bad health. All the external things that get you down cannot hold you down when you are a new creature in Christ. The world cannot give you this forgiveness, peace, joy, and rest, because it only has external things to offer and not deep down lasting spiritual things that satisfy the hungry, dry and thirsty soul.

Jesus said: 
Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
Matthew 11:28-29 New King James Bible
