THE JOURNEY TO CONTENTMENT

“Most of the ugliness in the human narrative comes from a distorted quest to possess beauty. COVETING begins with appreciating blessings; MURDER begins with a hunger for justice. LUST begins with recognition of beauty. GLUTTONY begins when our enjoyment of the delectable gifts of GOD starts to consume us. IDOLATRY begins when our seeing a reflection of God in something beautiful leads to our thinking that the beautiful image bearer is worthy of WORSHIP.” – (Shane Claiborne)
