But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and rainment let us be therewith content.
Philippians 4:10-13, 19
But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity. Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. I know both how to be abased and I know how to abound: everywhere and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need, I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
* True happiness comes from a pure heart within
*True happiness does NOT come from earthly things
*We rely more on God when we are poor.
*Our greatest desire should be to bring honor and glory to God!
