"I have learned to be satisfied with the things I have and with everything that happens."
--Philippians 4:11
What if God's only gift to you was His grace to save you..would you be content? You beg him to solve your financial difficulties.
You pray for a speedy end to a cold or the flu. You ask him for a nicer car, a bigger house, help with relationship trouble, or a promotion at work. What if His answer was "My grace is enough."? Would you be content?
From Heaven's perspective, grace IS enough. If God did nothing more than save you from hell, could anyone complain? Having eternal life, dare we grumble at an aching body? Having being given riches in Heaven, dare we moan about earthly finances?
Our Heavenly Father has spared us from an eternity completely devoid of His presence and guaranteed us of an eternity with Him in His glorious kingdom. Everything else is just 'icing on the cake'.
