Humdudgeons or Contentment

"A spirit of calm contentment always accompanies true godliness. The deep peace that comes from deep trust in God's lovingkindness is not destroyed even by the worst of circumstances, for the Everlasting Arms are still cradling us, we are always 'under the Mercy.'

Everything about which we are tempted to complain may be the very instrument whereby the Potter intends to shape His clay into the image of his Son - a headache, an insult, a long line at the check-out, someone's rudness or failure to say thank you, misunderstanding, disappointment, interruption."

Elizabeth Elliot
