Amen. One thing the Lord has been teaching me more about is my mindset, about anything really. It's so easy to allow ourselves to become fixated on anything, from the latest trends to how to keep our homes, to what we don't have, etc, when really what the Lord was showing me is the need to be fixated upon Him....for Him to be my treasure. When He is our treasure we are truly rich!! He can teach us the secret of being content in any circumstance...HE is the secret, Christ in us!! May the Lord bless you and may we all continue with Him until we all come to the unity of the faith and the knowledge of the Son of God. 🙏 Matthew 6:19-21 AMP [19] “Do not store up for yourselves [material] treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. [20] But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in and steal; [21] for where your treasure is, there your heart [your wishes, your desires; that on which your life centers] will be also. Philippians 4:11-13 NKJV [11] Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: [12] I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. [13] I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Colossians 1:27 NKJV [27] To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
This is an excellent video. I spent so many years, raising my kids and complaining that my home was old and small and yada...yada..yada. When I decided to focus on the good things, it actually became a nicer house. My kids don't remember it as having small closets and low ceilings. When they remember that house, they say it was cosy and pretty.
I love this! Even though I show my home online- it looks way better in the videos and I always feel it's so inferior to others in my niche. The devil likes to make us feel discontented.
I've always made my homes as homely as possible, but like many of us we can't help but wonder if and when an eviction notice will come from our landlords. That's what takes away the contentment because there is no guarantee when it's private rented. You can't permit yourself to get too attached or comfortable
I needed this nudge. God has been speaking to me all morning about several areas of my life. I haven’t ever watched something like this and then here it is. Thank you.
Your channel was just suggested to me and it came at the right time. I get pretty down about our 135 year old farmhouse because it's cold in the winter. I'm going to start focusing on the good things about my home. Thank you for posting this ♥
Thank you, Miss Emily!! This was absolutely lovely and refreshing. My husband and I are still moving around from apartment to apartment. But we are where God has us, and it is so vital to embrace contentment at every stage ❤❤
I was feeling quite down on our home recently, especially after finding a leak and not being able to afford to redecorate...but this has made me feel better and grateful. Thank you. X
I rent and the front room floor dropped about 4 inches. The room next too it the floor dips down. I'm afraid to tell the landlord about it. He is very frugal with spending money on the house and I'm afraid he's gonna tell me I have to move. Every room is packed and I have 6 cats. It's gonna be hard to find a house to accommodate me. What can I do?
Thank you for this wisdom. I have been looking for another house for years. Recently I became more content with my current home. Now I don't feel the need to move anymore and I decided to paint the living room.
