Father knows your name and cares for you

If you live in the Spirit

"But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,  gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!"
(Galatians 5:22-23 NLT)

let nothing frighten you.
All things are passing;

Patience obtains all things.
He who possesses God lacks nothing:
God alone suffices."  (St Teresa of Avila)

The Secret of Contentment

"I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want." (Philippians 4:12 NIV)

What is this Secret?

"My grace (My favor and loving-kindness and mercy) is enough for you [sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the trouble manfully]; for My strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and completed) and show themselves most effective in [your] weakness."
(2 Corinthians 12:9 AMP)
