What we seek to gain

1 Tim 6:6–19



there is great gain in godliness
combined with contentment:
to have clothes to cover us
and food to nurture us,
life to live and love to give.

there is great gain in godliness
combined with contentment:
to have money to share,
oh the greedy beware,
it is in God our riches are found.

there is great gain in godliness
combined with contentment:
good to be done, joy
to be won through
generous, gentle love.

there is great gain in godliness
combined with contentment:
to be present this moment,
not reaching always for more,
pursuing the Sacred, who is here, within.

combined with contentment,
there is great gain in godliness,
if you are seeking to be at peace.


Amen
