	Seed Thought for this Week Sent weekly to over 100,000 Christian families and growing. The Difference Between Happiness and Spiritual Contentment There is a difference in feeling happy and feeling a deep sense of spiritual contentment. They can run concurrently but they are not the same. Happiness is mostly a result of favorable circumstances or the positive experiences we have with people. Deep seated spiritual contentment is only experienced when we are in right relationship with God.
