Episode 193 - Practicing Contentment

Welcome to Daily Growth Point, I’m Pastor John Bingham.Though she lost her eyesight as an infant, Fanny Crosby used the gifts and abilities she had rather than spending her life wishing for what she lacked. She wrote her first poem at the age of eight:O what a happy soul am I Although I cannot see,I am resolved that in this worldContented I will be;How many blessings I enjoyThat other people don’t!To weep and sigh because I’m blind,I cannot, and I won’t!Fanny went on to write the words to more than eight thousand hymns and devoted her life to helping and encouraging others. The secret of contentment is not found in our possessions or position, but in our attitude. Contentment only comes from within. As we trust in the God that never fails, He supplies a contented heart.
