That lovely bird of paradise, Christian Contentment, can sit and sing in a cage of affliction and confinement, or fly at liberty through the vast expanse, with almost equal satisfaction ; while “ Even so Father, for so it seemeth good in thy sight,” is the chief note in its celestial song.
— Swain
The point
Christian contentment is like a bird of paradise that can find satisfaction whether confined or free, because its joy comes from submission to God's will.
