"One of the most profound effects of inward simplicity is the rise of
an amazing spirit of contentment. Gone is the need to strain and
pull to get ahead. In rushes a glorious indifference to position,
status, or possession. Living out of this wonderful Center causes
all other concerns to fade into insignificance...
To live in contentment means we can opt out of the status race
and the maddening pace that is its necessary partner. We can
shout 'No!' to the insanity which chants, 'More, more, more!'
We can rest contented in the gracious provision of God.
