Contentment

 “Christian contentment is that sweet, inward, quiet, gracious frame of spirit, which freely submits to and delights in God's wise and fatherly disposal in every condition.”

-Jeremiah Burroughs

You were mentioned in particular

When there were transactions between the Father and the Son, you were mentioned in particular;  God the Father gave you by name to the Son.  -- Jeremiah Burroughs.

 

CONTENTMENT IS

Christian contentment is that sweet, inward, quiet, gracious frame of spirit, which freely submits to and delights in God’s wise and fatherly disposal in every condition.
Jeremiah Burroughs

Instead of complaining at his lot, a contented man is thankful that his condition and circumstances are no worse than they are. Instead of greedily desiring something more than the supply of his present need, he rejoices that God still cares for him. Such an one is “content” with such as he has (Heb. 13:5).--A.W. Pink.

ADOPTION

RT @timmybrister: “If we did but know what this privilege of adoption is, all the riches of all the kingdoms in the world would be but as filthy dung to us.”

-- Jeremiah Burroughs

(and, I would add...: all the tribulations of all the days in the world would be but as forgotten humor to us." To remember it would only bring laughter in contrast, not frustration;
