Now I have many other things still to open in the mystery of contentment. I should show likewise that a godly man not only makes up everything in God, but finds enough in himself to make up all -- to make up everything in himself, not from himself, but in himself -- and that may seem to be stranger than the other. To make up everything in God is something, nay, to make up everything in himself (not from himself but in himself) -- a gracious heart has so much of God within himself, that he has enough there to make up all his outward wants.
Jeremiah Burroughs — The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment
