The Beauty of a Content Life || Biblical perspective
Рет қаралды 2,157
Жыл бұрынI long to me like Paul who in Philippians 4 talks about how he's "learned the secret of being content, in any and every situation." The answer is simple, yet why is it so hard to live it out? Contentment can be found today, right now. There aren't a list of steps to achieve it, and things you have to do to earn it.
I pray this video encourages you, and help to give your soul rest!
|| ABOUT ME ||
Hello! My name is Seleena, I am a mama to 3 boys, and married to my best friend. I am passionate about Jesus, homemaking, non toxic + simple living, minimalism, and living intentionally!
My family and I have lived in California, Hawaii, but now live in Idaho! I hope my videos bring a little encouragement and joy into your days!
"This is the day the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it!" Psalm 118:24

Here is why my family and I are striving to live a more intentional life! Thank you SO much for watching! May we all choose contentment today. Not focused on wordly things, rather on the eternal things. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qaediqWou5mplGQ.html

Absolutely. Cutting social media out has helped me realize this too. I took 5 months off and then came back for 2 weeks and it was the answer I needed to know it’s time to say bye.

Seleena, this was beautifully said!! What really hit me was when you said you face the most discontent is when you’re lacking in worldly things. We all need more Jesus in our life 💛

I’m happy I found your channel and this video today when I needed it most! As winter continues I find myself longing for a vacation, longing to live somewhere warmer, etc etc and I need to remember what I’m blessed with here even if it’s cold. There is still lots of joy and happiness to be had. 💜

Amen. 🙏 1 Timothy 6:7-8 "But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that." ✨✨

Seleena! You touched some really good points! We live too much through other people lives lenses... we compare our situation too much to our idea of perfect and that's when we run on "disappointment ", frustration and unhappiness... there's never going to be "the best" until we're in Heaven, there's only the best we can do. Awesome, encouraging video

"like a tree planted by streams of water that yields it's fruit in it's season." Made me think of Psalm 1! So much of scripture! Psalm 23 "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want." (Or I lack no thing) have loved all the things you're sharing, sister! Thanks for giving us a glimpse of the things you're learning. I feel like we're kindred spirits 🤍
