Contentment bears many blessed fruits.More than anything else, by being contented with that which is decreed, one is able to soar to the highest levels of faith and truthfulness.
Some might wish for only good to befall them, for only pleasant things to occur in their lives, but this way, contentment can’t be gauged.Many beautiful characters which include patience, total dependence, contentment, humbleness, fear of God e.t.c only become manifest when one is confronted with something he dislikes.so being pleased with that which has been decreed does not mean being contented with only those things that suits one’s disposition; The real gauge for true contentment are those Times when one goes through a painful situation.
NB:Human beings do not have much of a choice in regards to divine decree; The choice and the decision thereof belong only with the most high, The all Knowing.
