A man who is little in his own eyes will account every affliction as little, and every mercy as great.
Therefore his meaning must be, I find a sufficiency of satisfaction in my own heart, through the grace of Christ that is in me. Though I have not outward comforts and worldly conveniences to supply my necessities, yet I have a sufficient portion between Christ and my soul abundantly to satisfy me in every condition. (The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment)
