Enough
Finding peace where you are.
Contentment in a culture of more.
The big idea
Contentment isn't having everything — it's wanting what you already have.
What does “Enough” walk through?
Set Your Mind
Philippians 4:8 · KJV
Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just... think on these things.
In plain English
Fill your mind with what's true, honest, just, pure, lovely. Don't dwell on the rest.
What You Feed Grows
Discontent grows when you stare at what's missing. Train your mind on what's good and true.
The Root
1 Timothy 6:10 · KJV
For the love of money is the root of all evil.
In plain English
Loving money — making it ultimate — is at the root of every kind of evil.
Not Money, but Love of It
It's not having that traps us, but the endless craving. Peace begins with enough.
Pray
Father, teach me to be content. You are my enough. Amen.
Write it down
Where is comparison stealing your peace?
You finished: Enough
Gratitude is the cure for 'never enough.' Start counting.
