James 5:16
"God made you needy. You were created to need other people, connection is a biological imperative. Without sufficient human connection you will become a little bit less alive each day. A story that has not been shared is a story that has you bound in shame. Sitting in your favorite chair with a journal, Bible, cup of coffee and a good view out your window is not sufficient to heal your wounds." - Adam Young

Quotes from The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment by Jeremiah Burrows
------------
“Now I say that a heart that has no grace, knows of no way to get contentment but to have his possessions raised up to his desires. But the Christian has another way to contentment, that is, he can bring his desires down to his possessions; and so he attains his contentment.”
"The reason why you have not found contentment in the things of the world is not because you have too little of them, but because they are too little to satisfy your immortal soul."
"A heart that is empty of Christ, it is full of murmuring, grumbling and complaining."
"I see that it is not necessary for me to be rich, but it is necessary for me to make my peace with God. It is not necessary that I should live a pleasurable life in this world, but it is absolutely necessary that I should have pardon of my sin. It is not necessary that I should have honor and preferment, but it is necessary that I should have God as my portion and have my part in Jesus Christ. It is necessary that my soul should be saved in the Day of Jesus Christ! The other things are pretty fine indeed, and I should be glad if God would give me them: a fine house, income, clothes, and advancement for my wife and children. These are comfortable things, but they are not the necessary things”
