Jude

People who create divisions are characterized by two things: discontentment and grumbling.  It is reasonable then that unity is built on contentment and encouragement.

Are you the kind of person who is a joy to be around?  Do you make those around you better people?  Are you looking for good things to talk about and pointing out to others all that is going right?  Are you quick to give thanks and to look for something to praise God for?  If so, you are on the best path.

Unfortunately contentment is a quality to be developed NOT a characteristic that is natural to us.  People tend to naturally complain and point out whatever is not exactly the way they want it.  It comes natural to be critical and make negative things the object of our minds and conversations.

This should not be!  Seek to be the kind of person that brings life and energy to every environment.  Set your mind on the positive things around you.  Be content in every situation.  Always be grateful to God in everything.
